Seneca
“For what prevents us from saying that the happy life is to have a mind that is free, lofty, fearless and steadfast - a mind that is placed beyond the reach of fear, beyond the reach of desire, that counts virtue the only good, baseness the only evil, and all else but a worthless mass of things, which come and go without increasing or diminishing the highest good, and neither subtract any part from the happy life nor add any part to it?
A man thus grounded must, whether he wills or not, necessarily be attended by constant cheerfulness and a joy that is deep and issues from deep within, since he finds delight in his own resources, and desires no joys greater than his inner joys.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca: Essays and Letters

Charles Bukowski
“I went to the worst of bars hoping to get killed but all I could do was to get drunk again.”
Charles Bukowski

Edgar Allan Poe
“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”
Edgar Allan Poe

Seneca
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
Seneca

George Sand
“We cannot tear out a single page of our life, but we can throw the whole book in the fire.”
George Sand, Mauprat
