““You must know that the human heart must be very large to contain all those you love.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“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““Whether at Naishapur or Babylon, / Whether the Cup with sweet or bitter run, / The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop, / The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam““It’s all about the mask you wear to fit into a given situation. We all have several different masks. Having one at work and one at home isn’t that unusual. And another one for visiting the in-laws, perhaps.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson
