Arthur Schopenhauer
“The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

José Saramago
“Dizemos aos confusos, Conhece-te a ti mesmo, como se conhecer-se a si mesmo não fosse a quinta e mais dificultosa operação das aritméticas humanas, dizemos aos abúlicos, Querer é poder, como se as realidades bestiais do mundo não se divertissem a inverter todos os dias a posição relativa dos verbos, dizemos aos indecisos, Começar pelo princípio, como se esse princípio fosse a ponta sempre visível de um fio mal enrolado que bastasse puxar e ir puxando até chegarmos à outra ponta, a do fim, e como se, entre a primeira e a segunda, tivéssemos tido nas mãos uma linha lisa e contínua em que não havia sido preciso desfazer nós nem desenredar estrangulamentos, coisa impossível de acontecer na vida dos novelos e, se uma outra frase de efeito é permitida, nos novelos da vida.”
José Saramago, The Cave

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Há um tempo em que é preciso abandonar as roupas usadas, que já tem a forma do nosso corpo, e esquecer os nossos caminhos, que nos levam sempre aos mesmos lugares. É o tempo da travessia: e, se não ousarmos fazê-la, teremos ficado, para sempre, à margem de nós mesmos.”
Fernando Teixeira de Andrade

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment
