“Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.”

The Decay of Lying • Oscar Wilde

“Resentment, born of weakness, harms no one more than the weak person himself.”

Ecce Homo - Kişi Nasıl Kendisi Olur · • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

“The past will not tell us what we ought to do, but... what we ought to avoid.”

the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset

“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

“Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay; no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.”

Book IV • Marcus Aurelius
