“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.”
Julius Caesar • William Shakespeare“Each lost soul will be a hell unto itself, the boundless fire raging in its very vitals.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“I have never said that human society ought to be aristocratic, but a great deal more than that. What I have said, and still believe with ever-increasing conviction, is that human society is always, whether it will or no, aristocratic by its very essence, to the extreme that it is a society in the measure that it is aristocratic, and ceases to be such when it ceases to be aristocratic. Of course I am speaking now of society and not of the State.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Man is a substantial emigrant on a pilgrimage of being, and it is accordingly meaningless to set limits to what he is capable of being.”
