W. Somerset Maugham
“There's always one who loves and one who lets himself be loved.”
W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage

John Steinbeck
“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Herman Melville
“I try all things, I achieve what I can.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

John Steinbeck
“I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one. . . . Humans are caught—in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too—in a net of good and evil. . . . There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Charlotte Brontë
“Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.”
Charlotte Brontë , Villette
