Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“My Uncle Alex, who is up in Heaven now, one of the things he found objectionable about human beings was that they so rarely noticed it when times were sweet. We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and Uncle Alex would interrupt the conversation to say, "If this isn't nice, what is?"

So I hope that you will do the same for the rest of your lives. When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud, "If this isn't nice, what is?”
Kurt Vonnegut, If This Isn't Nice, What Is?: Advice for the Young

Vladimir Jankélévitch
“On peut vivre sans philosophie, sans musique, sans joie et sans amour. Mais pas si bien.”
Vladimir Jankélévitch

Cormac McCarthy
“Keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Robert A. Caro
“In my defense: while I am aware that there is no Truth, no objective truth, no single truth, no truth simple or unsimple, either; no verity, eternal or otherwise; no Truth about anything, there are Facts, objective facts, discernible and verifiable. And the more facts you accumulate, the closer you come to whatever truth there is.”
Robert A. Caro, Working

Stefan Zweig
“Besides, isn't it confoundedly easy to think you're a great man if you aren't burdened with the slightest idea that Rembrandt, Beethoven, Dante or Napoleon ever lived?”
Stefan Zweig, Chess Story
