Philip Larkin
“Seriously, I think it is a grave fault in life that so much time is wasted in social matters, because it not only takes up time when you might be doing individual private things, but it prevents you storing up the psychic energy that can then be released to create art or whatever it is. It's terrible the way we scotch silence & solitude at every turn, quite suicidal. I can't see how to avoid it, without being very rich or very unpopular, & it does worry me, for time is slipping by , and nothing is done. It isn't as if anything was gained by this social frivolity, It isn't: it's just a waste.”
Philip Larkin, Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica

Tzvetan Todorov
“Toutes les opinions ne se valent pas, et il ne faut pas confondre l'éloquence d'une parole avec la justesse d'une pensée.”
Tzvetan Todorov, In Defence of the Enlightenment

Voltaire
“‎Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
Voltaire

Philip Larkin
“Originality is being different from oneself, not others.”
Philip Larkin, Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica

Umberto Eco
“As the man said, for every complex problem there’s a simple solution, and it’s wrong.”
