Arthur Schopenhauer
“In endless space countless luminous spheres, round each of which some dozen smaller illuminated ones revolve, hot at the core and covered over with a hard cold crust; on this crust a mouldy film has produced living and knowing beings: this is empirical truth, the real, the world. Yet for a being who thinks, it is a precarious position to stand on one of those numberless spheres freely floating in boundless space, without knowing whence or whither, and to be only one of innumerable similar beings that throng, press, and toil, restlessly and rapidly arising and passing away in beginningless and endless time.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation, Volume II

Isaac Bashevis Singer
“Of all the blessings bestowed on man, the greatest lies in the fact that God's face is forever hidden from him”
Issac Bashevis Singer

C.G. Jung
“We are always human and we should never forget the burden of being only human”
C.G Jung

Isaac Bashevis Singer
“literature can very well describe the absurd, but it should never become absurd itself”
Isaac Bashevis Singer

Boris Pasternak
“How intense can be the longing to escape from the emptiness and dullness of human verbosity, to take refuge in nature, apparently so inarticulate, or in the wordlessness of long, grinding labour, of sound sleep, of true music, or of a human understanding rendered speechless by emotion!”
Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago
