Eugene O'Neill
“To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It's irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober.”
Eugene O'Neill, The Iceman Cometh

Li Bai
“No one understands now. Those who could
hear a song this deeply vanished long ago.”
Li Po

Padre Pio
“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”
Padre Pio

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Like a last signpost to the other path, Napoleon appeared, the most isolated and late-born man there has even been, and in him the problem of the noble ideal as such made flesh--one might well ponder what kind of problem it is; Napoleon this synthesis of the inhuman and the superhuman”
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals / Ecce Homo

Louis-Ferdinand Céline
“Travel is useful, it exercises the imagination. All the rest is disappointment and fatigue. Our journey is entirely imaginary. That is its strength.
It goes from life to death. People, animals, cities, things, all are imagined. It's a novel, just a fictitious narrative. Littre says so and he's never wrong.
And besides, in the first place, anyone can do as much. You just have to close your eyes.
It's on the other side of life.”
Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Journey to the End of the Night
