Leo Tolstoy
“Can it be that I have not lived as one ought?" suddenly came into his head. "But how not so, when I've done everything as it should be done?”
Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych

William Makepeace Thackeray
“It was in the reign of George II. that the above-named personages lived and quarrelled ; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now”
William Makepeace Thackeray, The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. written by himself

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose”
Mary Shelley

William Makepeace Thackeray
“Let the man who has to make his fortune in life remember this maxim. Attacking is his only secret. Dare, and the world always yields: or, if it beat you sometimes, dare again, and it will succumb.”
William Makepeace Thackeray, Barry Lyndon

Virginia Woolf
“I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.”
Virginia Woolf, The Letters of Virginia Woolf: Volume Three, 1923-1928
