The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.”
The Prophet • Kahlil Gibran“To learn to see -- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“An army is a strange composite masterpiece, which strength results from an enormous sum total of utter weaknesses. Thus only can we explain a war waged by humanity against humanity in spite of humanity.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.”
An Ideal Husband • Oscar Wilde
