Criss Jami
“I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

Iris Murdoch
“We are all the judges and the judged, victims of the casual malice and fantasy of others, and ready sources of fantasy and malice in our turn. And if we are sometimes accused of sins of which we are innocent, are there not also other sins of which we are guilty and of which the world knows nothing?”
Iris Murdoch, Nuns and Soldiers

Émile Zola
“This was the time when the rush for the spoils filled a corner of the forest with the yelping of hounds, the cracking of whips, the flaring of torches. The appetites let loose were satisfied at last, shamelessly, amid the sound of crumbling neighbourhoods and fortunes made in six months. The city had become an orgy of gold and women.”
Émile Zola, La Curée

Kristin Halbrook
“Girls should be strong together. Strong like steel, merry like the tinkling of chimes dancing in the wind.”
Kristin Halbrook, Nobody But Us
