“Be sure of this, O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but disease.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville““People who are to be comfortable are accustomed to lie on sofas, and dine off tables, and they should have sauces and sweets in the modern style.””
Republic • Plato““In my eyes, every murderous case loses its appeal. No matter how beautiful it is, it turns ugly, deteriorates and degrades. No case that allies with death can be justified.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“Disturbance comes only from within—from our own perceptions. ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius““I see that you are indifferent about money, which is a characteristic rather of those who have inherited their fortunes than of those who have acquired them; the makers of fortunes have a second love of money as a creation of their own, resembling the affection of authors for their own poems, or of parents for their children, besides that natural love of it for the sake of use and profit which is common to them and all men. And hence they are very bad company, for they can talk about nothing but the praises of wealth.””
Republic • Plato
