“There never were in the world two opinions alike, no more than two hairs or two grains; the most universal quality is diversity. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“One's emotional state is always determined by the oddest and most accidental things, and it is precisely the most superficial factors that often fortify or diminish our courage.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“We are all born in the same way but we all die in different ways.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“Being is unrecognizable unless it manages to seem, and seeming is feeble unless it manages to be.”
Gorgias • Plato
