“This that I am, whatever it be, is mere flesh and a little breathe and the ruling Reason ”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius“Madness is something rare in individuals -- but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages, it is the rule.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Beauty had this penalty -- it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life -- froze it. One forgot the little agitations; the flush, the pallor, some queer distortion, some light or shadow, which made the face unrecognisable for a moment and yet added a quality one saw for ever after. It was simpler to smooth that all out under the cover of beauty.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“It is better to have old second-hand diamonds than none at all.”
Following the Equator • Mark Twain“He put on a little knapsack and he walked through Indiana and Kentucky and North Carolina and Georgia clear to Florida. He walked among farmers and mountain people, among swamp people and fishermen. And everywhere people asked him why he was walking through the country. Because he loved true things he tried to explain.”
Cannery Row • John Steinbeck
