“Be not unwilling in what thou doest, neither selfish nor unadvised nor obstinate; let not over-refinement deck out thy thought; be not wordy nor a busybody.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde““Those who have forgotten where the road leads.” “They are at odds with what is all around them”—the all-directing logos. And “they find alien what they meet with every day.” ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“They insist that an author should write in the strictest, purest and noblest language: in short, they expect the Russian language to drop from the clouds, already refined, and that it should come naturally to the lips, so that all they have to do is to open their mouth and stick out their tongue. It goes without saying, of course, that the feminine half of the human species is very wise; but it must be confessed that our respected readers are even wiser.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski
