Ryan Holiday
“Focus on the moment, not the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.”
Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph

Sylvia Plath
“To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Aldous Huxley
“One of the principal functions of a friend is to suffer (in a milder and symbolic form) the punishments that we should like, but are unable, to inflict upon our enemies.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Chuck Palahniuk
“When you understand,” Brandy says, “that what you’re telling is just a story. It isn’t happening anymore. When you realize the story you’re telling is just words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the trashcan,” Brandy says, “then we’ll figure out who you’re going to be.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Luigi Pirandello
“Le anime hanno un loro particolar modo d'intendersi, d'entrare in intimità, fino a darsi del tu, mentre le nostre persone sono tuttavia impacciate nel commercio delle parole comuni, nella schiavitù delle esigenze sociali. Han bisogni lor proprii e le loro proprie aspirazioni le anime, di cui il corpo non si dà per inteso, quando veda l'impossibilità di soddisfarli e di tradurle in atto. E ogni qualvolta due che comunichino fra loro così, con le anime soltanto, si trovano soli in qualche luogo, provano un turbamento angoscioso e quasi una repulsione violenta d'ogni minimo contatto materiale, una sofferenza che li allontana, e che cessa subito, non appena un terzo intervenga. Allora, passata l'angoscia, le due anime sollevate si ricercano e tornano a sorridersi da lontano.”
Luigi Pirandello, Il fu Mattia Pascal
