René Daumal
“It is dangerous to preach humility to feeble souls. This distances them even more from themselves. Someone who is rigid, and turned inwards, can become aware of his destiny only by rebelling.”
René Daumal

R.K. Narayan
“Every creature is born with a potential store of violence.”
R.K. Narayan, A Tiger for Malgudi

Emil M. Cioran
“Not knowing humiliation, you are ignorant of what it is to arrive at the last stage of yourself.”
E M Cioran

R.K. Narayan
“violence cannot be everlasting. Sooner or later it has to go, if not through wisdom, definitely through decrepitude, which comes on with years, whether one wants it or not.”
R.K. Narayan, A Tiger for Malgudi

Evelyn Waugh
“One of the problems of the vacation is money, father.”

“Oh, I shouldn’t worry about a thing like that at your age.”

“You see, I’ve run rather short.”

“Yes?” said my father without any sound of interest.

“In fact I don’t quite know how I’m going to get through the next two months.”

“Well, I’m the worst person to come to for advice. I’ve never been ‘short’ as you so painfully call it. And yet what else could you say? Hard up? Penurious? Distressed? Embarrassed? Stony-broke?” (Snuffle.) “On the rocks? In Queer Street? Let us say you are in Queer Street and leave it at that. Your grandfather once said to me, ‘Live within your means, but if you do get into difficulties, come to me. Don’t go to the Jews.”
Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited
