Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, 'I exist.' In thousands of agonies -- I exist. I'm tormented on the rack -- but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar -- I exist! I see the sun, and if I don't see the sun, I know it's there. And there's a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Richard Siken
“A man takes his sadness down to the river and throws it in the river
                    but then he’s still left
with the river. A man takes his sadness and throws it away
                                                                        but then he’s still left with his hands.”
Richard Siken, Crush

Søren Kierkegaard
“Thus to get the princess, to live
with her joyfully and happily day in and day out (for it is also conceivable that
the knight of resignation might get the princess, but that his soul had discerned the
impossibility of their future happiness), thus to live joyfully and happily every
instant by virtue of the absurd, every instant to see the sword hanging over the
head of the beloved, and yet to find repose in the pain of resignation, but joy by
virtue of the absurd—this is marvellous.”
Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling

Jane Austen
“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
