“You only lose what you cling to.”
― Guatama Buddha

“But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face. The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid. Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are! Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don't think.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“There was no solution, save that universal solution which life gives to all questions, even the most complex and insolvable: One must live in the needs of the day--that is, forget oneself.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
