“I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Rascals are always sociable--more's the pity! and the chief sign that a man has any nobility in his character is the little pleasure he takes in others' company. He prefers solitude more and more, and, in course of time, comes to see that, with few exceptions, the world offers no choice beyond solitude on one side and vulgarity on the other.”
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“That glorious vision of doing good is so often the sanguine mirage of so many good minds.”
A Tale of Two Cities • Charles Dickens“Apparently that does sometimes happen. Apparently even men like Chichikov are transformed into poets for a few moments in their lives: though the word "poet" would be an exaggeration here.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“ Food production, and competition and diffusion between societies, led as ultimate causes ... of conquest. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
