"It's insane how beautiful any story can be when it speaks to you not in the literary sense but in perplexive surrealism. It feels as if I can subjectively think about it rather than some papery device trying super hard to familiarize me with emotions that I've neither felt nor seen; that it rather seem reckless in their conjugation."

Ludwig van Beethoven
“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.”
Ludwig van Beethoven

Stefan Zweig
“In so much firm, pleasure-loving flesh, we cannot find the merest trace of a moral nervous system. That explains the whole enigma of Casanova's subtle genius. Lucky man that he is, he has only sensuality, and lacks the first beginnings of a soul. Bound by no ties, having no fixed aim, restrained by no prudent considerations, he can move at a different tempo from his fellow mortals, who are burdened with moral scruples, who aim at an ethical goal, who are tied by notions of social responsibility. That is the secret of his unique impetus, of his incomparable energy.”
Stefan Zweig, Casanova: A Study in Self-Portraiture

Brandon Sanderson
“Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination.

I will protect those who cannot protect themselves.

I will protect even those I hate so long as it is right.”
Brandon Sanderson, Stormlight Archive 4 Book Set: The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Edgedancer, Oathbringer

Albert Camus
“Life continues, and some mornings, weary of the noise, discouraged by the prospect of the interminable work to keep after, sickened also by the madness of the world that leaps at you from the newspaper, finally convinced that I will not be equal to it and that I will disappoint everyone—all I want to do is sit down and wait for evening. This is what I feel like, and sometimes I yield to it.”
Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Morality is just a fiction used by the herd of inferior human beings to hold back the few superior men.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
