― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.”

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
