“Rather upsets a man's day a funeral does.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“And now that the hour of departure is appointed to me, this is the hope with which I depart, and not I only, but every man that believes that he has his mind purified.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“There are 80,000 prostitutes in London alone and what are they, if not bloody sacrifices on the altar of monogamy?”

Book II • Marcus Aurelius
