The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“As a wolf resembles a dog, so both a flatterer and an adulterer and a parasite resemble a friend. Take care then that instead of watch dogs you do not without knowing it let in mischievous wolves.”
Fragment • Epictetus“The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there.

On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”

Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But ... it is better to be good than to be ugly.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde
