Oscar Wilde
“Is insincerity such a terrible thing? I think not. It is merely a method by which we can multiply our personalities.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Virginia Woolf
“The indifference of the world which Keats and Flaubert and other men of genius have found so hard to bear was in her case not indifference but hostility. The world did not say to her as it said to them, Write if you choose; it makes no difference to me. The world said with a guffaw, Write? What's the good of your writing?”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

Jorge Luis Borges
“Fácilmente aceptamos la realidad, acaso porque intuimos que nada es Real”
Jorge Luis Borges, El Aleph

Franz Kafka
“I am free and that is why I am lost.”
Franz Kafka

Simone de Beauvoir
“One of the benefits that oppression secures for the oppressor is that the humblest among them feels superior.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
