Literature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put to the legal apparatus by conscience in touch with humanity.

Literature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put

Summary

This quote suggests that Literature serves as a platform to address and question the legal system when moral conscience intersects with the collective human experience. It implies that when individuals feel a moral responsibility to challenge existing laws or norms, they can do so through literary expressions. Literature acts as a medium to explore social issues, advocate for justice, and provoke thought about the relationship between law and morality, inviting readers to reflect on the ethical aspects of society and potentially inspire change.

Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.
