Haruki Murakami
“As Duke Ellington once said, “There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind.” In that sense, jazz and classical music are fundamentally the same. The pure joy one experiences listening to “good” music transcends questions of genre.”
Haruki Murakami, Absolutely on Music: Conversations with Seiji Ozawa

Albert Camus
“If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has any importance.”
Albert Camus, The Rebel

Anna Seghers
“What can I expect here? You know the fairy tale about the man who died, don’t you? He was waiting in Eternity to find out what the Lord had decided to do with him. He waited and waited, for one year, ten years, a hundred years. He begged and pleaded for a decision. Finally he couldn’t bear the waiting any longer. Then they said to him: ‘What do you think you’re waiting for? You’ve been in Hell for a long time already.”
Anna Seghers, Transit

Anna Seghers
“When you're young and healthy you can recover quickly from a defeat. But betrayal is different—it paralyzes you.”
Anna Seghers, Transit

Vincent van Gogh
“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.”
Vincent van Gogh
