Friedrich Nietzsche
“Some cannot loosen their own chains and can nonetheless redeem their friends.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Romain Rolland
“there is only one true heroism in the world: to see the world as it is, and to love it”
Roman Rolland

“我赤身裸體,被丟進最不幸的時代的嚴寒之中,乘著人間的馬車與非人間的馬,四處飄蕩。我的毛皮大衣掛在馬車上,我卻無法觸及它,而那些四肢靈活的流氓病人們,卻連一根手指都不願意動。被騙了!被騙了!只要聽信一次夜間急救鈴的假警報——就永遠無可挽回了。”
法蘭茲.卡夫卡(Franz Kafka), 卡夫卡中短篇全集#3

W. Somerset Maugham
“Why should you think that beauty, which is the most precious thing in the world, lies like a stone on the beach for the careless passer-by to pick up idly? Beauty is something wonderful and strange that the artist fashions out of the chaos of the world in the torment of his soul. And when he has made it, it is not given to all to know it.

W. Somerset Maugham, Moon and Sixpence

Alain de Botton
“As Proust once said, classically beautiful women should be left to men without imagination.”
Alain de Botton, Essays In Love
