W. Somerset Maugham
“Remember that it is nothing to do your duty, that is demanded of you and is no more meritorious than to wash your hands when they are dirty; the only thing that counts is the love of duty; when love and duty are one, then grace is in you and you will enjoy a happiness which passes all understanding.”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil

W. Somerset Maugham
“But Philip was impatient with himself; he called to mind his idea of the pattern of life: the unhappiness he had suffered was no more than part of a decoration which was elaborate and beautiful; he told himself strenuously that he must accept with gaiety everything, dreariness and excitement, pleasure and pain, because it added to the richness of the design.”
W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Perhaps what is inexpressible (what I find mysterious and am not able to express) is the background against which whatever I could express has its meaning.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value

Henri Cartier-Bresson
“It is through living that we discover ourselves, at the same time as we discover the world around us.”
Henri Cartier-Bresson, Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century
