Ryū Murakami
“Everybody wants to talk about themselves, and everybody wants to hear everybody else's story, so we take turns playing reporter and celebrity.”
Ryu Murakami

Albert Camus
“I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.”
Albert Camus, L'Étranger

Thomas Mann
“Nothing is more curious and awkward than the relationship of two people who only know each other with their eyes — who meet and observe each other daily, even hourly and who keep up the impression of disinterest either because of morals or because of a mental abnormality. Between them there is listlessness and pent-up curiosity, the hysteria of an unsatisfied, unnaturally suppressed need for communion and also a kind of tense respect. Because man loves and honors man as long as he is not able to judge him, and desire is a product of lacking knowledge.”
Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“To care only for well-being seems to me positively ill-bred. Whether it’s good or bad, it is sometimes very pleasant, too, to smash things.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

Henrik Ibsen
“It's a liberation to know that an act of spontaneous courage is yet possible in this world. An act that has something of unconditional beauty.”
Henrik Ibsen, Hedda Gabler
