Literature

"The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places."

Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms (1929)

"They say best men are molded out of faults, And, for the most, become much more the better
For being a little bad."

William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure(c. 1603)

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?
Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams โ€” this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness โ€” and maddest of all:
to see life as it is, and not as it should be !"

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote(1605โ€“1615)

"There is a particular shade of grey that falls when a response does not come โ€” not night, not storm, but the slow end of day.. when even echoes have grown numb."

"The Sirens sang to Odysseus, about what he loved and have, which made him happy, and then they sang, what he wished he'd have, but which he do not have, or cannot have, or can never have,
but then comes the most devestating of all, the Sirens Sang, to Odysseus, what he wished he'd have, and do in fact have, but failed to keep; all the precious and cherished he had lost."

my interpretation of the Sirens scene in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (2026), 17 July 2026

"The Sirens in Homer's books is more about temptation, the knowledge they have and the validation they give, and so the Sirens tempt the sailors who hear their alluring songs.
The Sirens scene in Nolan's Odyssey, is much more poignant and moving ... the Sirens sing songs of regret and loss."
