“Happy is he who lays aside his desires, and cherishes and is content with small pleasures, and always goes on hoping, without ever taking account of his own contrary experience, either in general or in particular. And as a result blessed are the modest souls, or those that are distracted and little accustomed to reflection.”
― Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone

“I always believed there was a God. I just never did like him.”
― Cormac McCarthy, Suttree

“Your sorrow is fruitless, and will not change the course of destiny. Very true; and for that very reason I am sorry.”

“That's what Jesus meant,[...] venturing out on the sea of Galilee. He saw it from the lemming point of view. Without the millions who had plunged and drowned, there could have been no miracle?

― Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow
