“You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too.”
― James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

“You have asked me what I would do and what I would not do. I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.”
― James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

“There is no virtue if there is no immortality.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“For if a lover's face survives emblazoned on your heart, the world is still your home.”
― Orhan Pamuk, My Name Is Red
