Voltaire
“But for what purpose was the earth formed?" asked Candide. "To drive us mad," replied Martin.”
Voltaire, Candide

Mark Twain
“The true Southern watermelon is a boon apart, and not to be mentioned with commoner things. It is chief of this world'd luxuries, king by grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took: we know it because she repented.”
Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson

Miguel de Unamuno
“Man is said to be a reasoning animal. I do not know why he has not been defined as an affective or feeling animal. Perhaps that which differentiates him from other animals is feeling rather than reason. More often I have seen a cat reason than laugh or weep. Perhaps it weeps or laughs inwardly — but then perhaps, also inwardly, the crab resolves equations of the second degree.”
Miguel de Unamuno, Tragic Sense of Life

Hermann Hesse
“There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside of them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself.”
Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf

Voltaire
“Martin in particular concluded that man was born to live either in the convulsions of misery, or in the lethargy of boredom.”
Voltaire, Candide
