Seneca
“No man has been shattered by the blows of Fortune unless he was first deceived by her favours.”
Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

Milan Kundera
“The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful ... Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Albert Camus
“To Chestov reason is useless but there is something beyond reason. To an absurd mind reason is useless and there is nothing beyond reason.”
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

Douglas Adams
“When the girl sitting at the next table looked away from a moment, Dirk leaned over and took her coffee. He knew that he was perfectly safe doing this because she would simply not be able to believe that this had happened.”
Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
