“Those who'll play with cats must expect to be scratched.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes““Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell“It was the first rift in my father’s sanctity, it was the first nick in the pillars on which my childish life had rested, and which every human being must destroy before he can become himself. It is of these experiences, invisible to everyone, that the inner, essential line of our destiny consists. That kind of rift and nick closes over again, it is healed and forgotten, but in the most secret chamber of the mind it continues to live and bleed.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“I tell everyone very plainly that I take bribes, but what kind of bribes? Why, greyhound puppies. That's a totally different matter.”
The Inspector General • Nikolai Gogol“It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck
