Academia Chronicles

If it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.

Even more terrible, as we grow older, to learn that no person, no matter how beloved, can ever truly understand us.

Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

Hi :)

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

Hello!

Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.

Anonymous person here.

I shall cut straight to the point.

May you please provide me with a recommendation of books literature in origin.

Deep regards.

Hi :)

I added the author’s origin to the names, I hope that’s what you meant.

My love for reading started with Crime And Punishment by F. Dostoevsky (Russian) and An American Tragedy by T. Dreiser (American), so I can definitely recommend these ones.

The Picture of Dorian Gray by O. Wilde (Irish), Martin Eden by J. London (American), Pride And Prejudice by J. Austen (English), Frankenstein by M. Shelley (English).

The Secret History by D. Tartt (American), of course. And If We Were Villains by M. Rio (American). They’re absolutely incredible.

Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony, and music inside me.

I'm a slave to my emotions, to my likes, to my hatred of boredom, to most of my desires.

Luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.

The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.
