These names still exist. Their fortunes are enormous.”
― Éric Vuillard, L'Ordre du jour

“Instead of committing suicide, people go to work.”
― Thomas Bernhard, Correction

“Όλες οι ευτυχισμένες οικογένειες μοιάζουν μεταξύ τους. Κάθε δυστυχισμένη οικογένεια, όμως, είναι δυστυχισμένη με το δικό της τρόπο”
