Thomas Mann
“The fact is that everyone is much too busily preoccupied with himself to be able to form a serious opinion about another person. The indolent world is all too ready to treat any man with whatever degree of respect corresponds to his own self-confidence.”
Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales

Sally Rooney
“Gradually the waiting began to feel less like waiting and more like this was simply what life was: the distracting tasks undertaken while the thing you are waiting for continues not to happen.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Søren Kierkegaard
“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”
Søren Kierkegaard

Aldous Huxley
“And that," put in the Director sententiously, "that is the secret of happiness and virtue — liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Ivo Andrić
“Ja! - Teška riječ, koja u očima onih pred kojima je kazana određuje naše mjesto, kobno i nepromjenjivo, često daleko ispred ili iza onog što mi o sebi znamo, izvan naše volje i izvan naših snaga. Strašna riječ koja nas, jednom izgovorena, zauvijek vezuje i poistovjećuje sa svim onim što smo zamislili i rekli i sa čim nikad nismo ni pomišljali da se poistovjetimo, a u stvari smo, u sebi, već odavno jedno.”
Ivo Andrić, Prokleta avlija
