Octave Mirbeau“You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you find absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world.”
Octave Mirbeau“The note is the same, I fancy, be the octave high or low.”
Rebecca Harding Davis, Life in the Iron Mills and Other Stories“Life is filled with all goods and bads around each one of us,It's our rights to choose the path and we are responsible of all our deeds and consequences.”

Octave Mirbeau“And she laughed, a full octave, descending from high C like chimes.”
Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow
