Katsushika Hokusai
“If heaven had granted me five more years, I could have become a real painter.”
Hokusai Katsushika

Amos Oz
“In addition to curiosity and imagination, another effective antidote to fanaticism might be humor, and especially the ability to make fun of ourselves. I, for one, have never met a fanatic with a sense of humor. Nor have I ever known anyone capable of making a joke at his own expense become a fanatic. Humor engenders a curvature that allows one to see, at least momentarily, old things in a new light. Or to see yourself, at least for a moment, as others see you. This curvature invites us to let hot air out of any excessive importance, including self-importance. Moreover, humor usually entails a measure of relativity, of abasing the sublime.”
Amos Oz, שלום לקנאים

Hermann Hesse
“The man of power is ruined by power, the man of money by money, the submissive man by subservience, the pleasure seeker by pleasure.”
Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf

Amos Oz
“The notion of 'happily ever after', the illusion of lasting happiness, is actually an oxymoron. Either plateau or climax. Everlasting happiness is no happiness, just like an everlasting orgasm is no orgasm at all.”
Amos Oz, How to Cure a Fanatic

Machado de Assis
“Que tens tu com essa sucessão de ruína a ruína ou de flor a flor? Trata de saborear a vida; e fica sabendo que a pior filosofia é a do choramingas que se deita à margem do rio para o fim de lastimar o curso incessante das águas. O ofício delas é não parar nunca; acomoda-te com a lei, e trata de aproveitá-la.”
Machado de Assis, Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas
