Henrik Pontoppidan
“Every man’s soul is an independent universe, his death the extinction of the universe in miniature.”
Henrik Pontoppidan, Lykke-Per

Adolfo Bioy Casares
“When all the senses are synchronized, the soul emerges.”
Adolfo Bioy Casares, The Invention of Morel

Thomas Mann
“whoever tells a story wanders through many stations in his adventures, but only pitches a tent at each, waiting for further directions, and soon feels his own heart pounding, in part out of desire, but in part also out of fear and the apprehension in his bones, yet always as a sign that the road now opens onto new adventures that he must experience precisely, in all their incalculable detail, for that is the will of the restless spirit.”
Thomas Mann, Joseph and His Brothers

Thomas Mann
“But beauty, too, is never perfected and for that very reason incites to vanity; for beauty works hard to achieve what it finds lacking in its own self-imposed ideal - yet another error, for beauty's secret actually consists in the attraction that comes from imperfection.”
Thomas Mann, Joseph and His Brothers

Halldór Laxness
