From The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them."
From The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon There's no such thing as dead languages, only dormant minds.
From Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse Whoever wants to live and enjoy his life today must not be like you and me. Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.
