Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“And in Life's noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Complete Poems

Ambrose Bierce
“JEALOUS, adj. Unduly concerned about the preservation of that which can be lost only if not worth keeping.”
Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary

Comte de Lautréamont
“Oh if only instead of being a hell, the universe had been an immense anus!”
Comte de Lautréamont

Robert Musil
“His extraordinary indifference to the life snapping at the bait is matched by the risk he runs of doing utterly eccentric things. An impractical man - which he not only seems to be but really is - will always be unreliable and unpredictable in his dealings with others. He will engage in actions that mean something else to him that to others, but he is at peace with himself about everything as long as he can make it all come together in a fine idea”
Robert Musil

Ambrose Bierce
“PLATITUDE, n. The fundamental element and special glory of popular literature. A thought that snores in words that smoke. The wisdom of a million fools in the diction of a dullard. A fossil sentiment in artificial rock. A moral without the fable. All that is mortal of a departed truth. A demi-tasse of milk-and-mortality. The Pope's-nose of a featherless peacock. A jelly-fish withering on the shore of the sea of thought. The cackle surviving the egg. A desiccated epigram.”
Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary
