James Joyce
“Damn it, I can understand a fellow being hard up but what I can't understand is a fellow sponging. Couldn't he have some spark of manhood about him?”
James Joyce, Dubliners

Publius Cornelius Tacitus
“But the more I reflect on events recent and past, the more I am struck by the element of the absurd in everything humans do.”
Tacitus, The Annals of Imperial Rome
