Marcus Aurelius
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
Marcus Aurelius

Hermann Broch
“Children have a more restricted and yet a more intense feeling for nature than grown-ups.”
Hermann Broch, The Sleepwalkers

Giacomo Leopardi
“Children find everything in nothing, men find nothing in everything.”
Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone di pensieri

Friedrich Nietzsche
“It is intoxicating joy for the sufferer to look away from his suffering and to forget himself.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

William H. Gass
“Birthdays, like weddings, anniversaries, baptisms, bar mitzvahs, wakes, are occasions to retie family ties, renew family feuds, restore family feeling, add to family lore, tribalize the psyche, generate guilt, exercise power, wave a foreign flag, talk in tongues, exchange lies, remember dates and the old days, to be fond of how it was, be angry at what it should be, and weep at why it isn't.”
William H. Gass, The Tunnel
