Oscar Wilde
“and the worst of having a romance of any kind is that it leaves one so unromantic.”
Oscar Wilde, THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY

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

Aldous Huxley
“There were the years— years of childhood and innocence— when I had believed that carminative meant— well, carminative. And now, before me lies the rest of my life— a day, perhaps, ten years, half a century, when I shall know that carminative means windtreibend.”
Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow

Evelyn Waugh
“The vision fades, the soul sickens, and the routine of survival starts again.”
Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

Albert Camus
“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
