“Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot: that is all one can say.”
― Oscar Wilde, THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY

“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but 'steal' some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”
― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959

“Everything that ever gets done in this world is done by madmen,”
― Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow

“My father greeted me with his usual air of mild regret.”
― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited
