Voltaire
“The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood.”
Voltaire

Franz Kafka
“One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one willl only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.”
Franz Kafka, The Blue Octavo Notebooks

Anton Chekhov
“The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.”
Anton Chekhov

“Years passed; and he endured the idleness of his intelligence and the inertia of his heart.”
