“Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.”
Intellectual Autobiography • VICTOR HUGO““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“I try to catch every sentence, every word you and I say, and quickly lock all these sentences and words away in my literary storehouse because they might come in handy.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth.”
The Enchiridion • Epictetus“What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won’t seem important at all.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
