Gregor von Rezzori
“Dealing with people, my friends, is really nothing more than a question of the price that one is willing to pay. The better you understand life, the more capital you build.”
Gregor von Rezzori, An Ermine in Czernopol

Matt Haig
“Everything is going to be all right. Or, if not, everything is going to be, so let's not worry.”
Matt Haig, How to Stop Time

Fernando Pessoa
“Nothing irks me more than the vocabulary of social responsibility. The very word ‘duty’ is unpleasant to me, like an unwanted guest. But the terms ‘civic duty’, ‘solidarity’, ‘humanitarianism’ and others of the same ilk disgust me like rubbish dumped out of a window right on top of me. I’m offended by the implicit assumption that these expressions pertain to me, that I should find them worthwhile and even meaningful. I recently saw in a toy-shop window some objects that reminded me exactly of what these expressions are: make-believe dishes filled with make-believe tidbits for the miniature table of a doll. For the real, sensual, vain and selfish man, the friend of others because he has the gift of speech and the enemy of others because he has the gift of life, what is there to gain from playing with the dolls of hollow and meaningless words?”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Juan Carlos Onetti
“I applaud the courage of he who accepts each and every one of the laws of a game he did not invent and was not asked if he wanted to play”
Juan Carlos Onetti, A Brief Life

Fernando Pessoa
“To consider our greatest anguish an incident of no importance, not just in terms of the life of the universe, but in terms of our own souls, is the beginning of knowledge.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition
