“About fame... Just as the sand-dunes, heaped one upon another, hide each the first, so in life the former deeds are quickly hidden by those that follow after.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
A Christmas Carol • Charles Dickens“The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“Prize that which is best in the universe; and this is that which useth everything and ordereth everything.”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius““Do you see that tree? It is dead but it still sways in the wind with the others."”
The Duel • Anton Chekhov
