“Death hangs over thee: whilst yet thou livest, whilst thou mayest, be good.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“I was not in full control of myself, and it seemed that I knew her name from before. The evil in her eyes, her color, her scent and her movements were all familiar to me. It was as though my souls, in the life before this, in the world of imagination, had bordered on her soul and that both souls, of the same essence and substance, were destined for union. I must have lived this life very close to her. I had no desire to touch her; the invisible beams that emanated from our bodies and mingled were sufficient for me. Isn't this terrifying experience which seemed so familiar to met quite the same as the feelings of two lovers who feel that they have known each other before and that a mysterious relationship has previously existed between them? Was it possible that someone else could affect me? The dry, repulsive and ominous laughter of the old man, however, tore our bonds asunder.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat““Be not too confiding, nor frivolous, nor over enthusiastic, —three rocks on which youth often strikes. Too confiding a nature loses respect, frivolity brings contempt, and others take advantage of excessive enthusiasm.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“That's the nature of women ... not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
