“There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“As a woman I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman, my country is the whole world.”
Three Guineas • Virginia Woolf“A lady, without a family, was the very best preserver of furniture in the world.”
Persuasion • Jane Austen“It is a great folly to lose the inner man in order to gain the outer, that is, to give up the whole or the greater part of one's quiet, leisure, and independence for splendour, rank, pomp, titles and honours.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“"That man is … odd," I dared say to William.”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco
