The Consolation of Philosophy
"All fortune is good fortune; for it either rewards, disciplines, amends, or punishes, and so is either useful or just."
- St. Boethius
The Dream of a Ridiculous Man
"I want to suffer so that I may love."
- F. Dostoevsky
The Sickness Unto Death
"The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed."
- S. Kierkegaard
Pensées
"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."
- B. Pascal
