Lord Byron
“The great object of life is sensation- to feel that we exist, even though in pain.”
Lord Byron

Seneca
“If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.”
Seneca the Younger

Henry Miller
“Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. there is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there.”
Henry Miller

Franz Kafka
“Paths are made by walking”
Franz Kafka

Lord Byron
“Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.”
Lord George Gordon Byron
