“Things have no hold on the soul. They have no access to it, cannot move or direct it. It is moved and directed by itself alone. It takes the things before it and interprets them as it sees fit. ”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“But still anger ought be far from us, for nothing is able to be done rightly nor judiciously with anger.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“In every cradle decked with rosy wreath Lurk germs of death.”
Hope • VICTOR HUGO“For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.”
The Prophet • Kahlil Gibran“A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski
