Those born to wealth, and who have the means of gratifying every wish, know not what is the real happiness of life, just as those who have been tossed on the stormy waters of the ocean on a few frail planks can alone realise the blessings of fair weather.

Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life. Live, then, and be happy…

Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

Just as the body needs food, the soul needs books.

Anas Habib, Syria's Secret Library

Life never gives us what we want at the moment that we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually.

E.M. Forster, A Passage To India

A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man And The Sea

L’homme n’est rien, l’œuvre tout!

Gustave Flaubert

I am past scorching; not easily can’st thou scorch a scar.

Herman Melville, Moby Dick

No man is an Island, intire of it selfe; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

John Donne, Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions

One step beyond that boundary line which resembles the line dividing the living from the dead, lies uncertainty, suffering, and death. And what is there? Who is there? — There beyond that field, that tree, that roof lit up by the sun? No one knows, but one wants to know. You fear and yet long to cross that line, and know that sooner or later it must be crossed and you will have to find out what is there, just as you will inevitably have to learn what lies the other side of death.

Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

He spoke with such self-confidence that his hearers could not be sure whether what he said was very witty or very stupid.

Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?

That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.

I don’t much care where —

Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.

Lewis Carroll, Alice In Wonderland

Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Men seek retreats for themselves… no retreat offers someone more quiet and relaxation than that into his own mind.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

I travel on by nature’s path until I fall and find rest, breathing my last into that air from which I draw my daily breath, and falling on that earth which gave my father his seed, my mother her blood, my nurse her milk; the earth which for so many years has fed and watered me day by day; the earth which bears my tread and all the ways in which I abuse her.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Sometimes when you lose your way in the fog, you end up in a beautiful place! Don’t be afraid of getting lost!

Mehmet Murat İldan

The map? I will first make it.

Patrick White, Voss

I am compelled into this country.

Patrick White, Voss

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken Read entire poem

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full Of Sky

If I cannot sway the heavens, I’ll wake the powers of hell!

Virgil, The Aeneid
