Leo Tolstoy
“...O que é ruim? O que é bom? O que se deve amar, e o que se deve odiar? Para que se deve viver e o que eu sou? O que é a vida, o que é a morte? Que força governa tudo?",ele se perguntava. E não havia resposta para nenhuma dessas perguntas, a não ser uma resposta sem lógica, e que nem mesmo respondia a tais perguntas. A resposta era a seguinte: "Você vai morrer e tudo vai terminar. Você vai morrer e vai ficar sabendo de tudo...ou vai parar de perguntar". Mas morrer também era terrível.”
Leo Tolstoy, Guerra e Paz - Volume I

Joseph Conrad
“It was one of those dewy, clear, starry nights, oppressing our spirit, crushing our pride, by the brilliant evidence of the awful loneliness, of the hopeless obscure insignificance of our globe lost in the splendid revelation of a glittering, soulless universe.”
Joseph Conrad, Chance

Georg Simmel
“By my existence I am nothing more than an empty place, an outline,that is reserved within being in general. Given with it, though, is the duty to fill in this empty place. That is my life.”
Georg Simmel, The View of Life: Four Metaphysical Essays with Journal Aphorisms

Anton Chekhov
“Perhaps man has a hundred senses, and when he dies only the five senses that we know perish with him, and the other ninety-five remain alive.”
Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard

Teresa de Ávila
“But always when I was without a book, my soul would at once become disturbed, and my thoughts wandered. As I read, I began to call them together again and, as it were, laid a bait for my soul”
Teresa of Ávila, The Life of Saint Teresa of Ávila by Herself
