“Himmlisch ist's wenn ich bezwungen Meine irdische Begier; Aber doch wenn's nich gelungen Hatt' ich auch recht huebsch Plaisir!

Loosely translated:

It is heavenly, when I overcome
My earthly desires
But nevertheless, when I'm not successful,
It can also be quite pleasurable.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself—and there isn’t one.”
― Wei Wu Wei

“If you are doomed to devour yourself, nothing can keep you from it: a trifle will impel you as much as a tragedy. Resign yourself to erosion at all times: your fate wills it so.”
― Emil M. Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

“Dans le fond des forêts votre image me suit.
La lumière du jour, les ombres de la nuit,
Tout retrace à mes yeux les charmes que j'évite.
Tout vous livre à l'envi le rebelle Hippolyte.”
― Jean Racine, Phèdre
