“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other even more reasonable says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man's power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”
The Happy Prince • Oscar Wilde
