“On the occasion of every act ask thyself, How is this with respect to me? Shall I repent of it? A little time and I am dead, and all is gone.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius“Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.”
Lady Windermere's Fan • Oscar Wilde“Meditation and water are wedded for ever.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
The Naval Treaty • Arthur Conan Doyle“Nothing makes you madder than wanting to defend yourself against something you can't even get hold of, something the human race is doing to you, but still there's nobody you can grab by the throat.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig
