“To seek what is impossible is madness: and it is impossible that the bad should not do something of this kind.”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“Of all that is written I love only what a man has written with his blood. Write with blood, and you will find that blood is spirit.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“There are people who exist in this world not like entities but like the speckles or spots on something.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Adorn thyself with simplicity and with indifference towards the things which lie between virtue and vice. Love mankind. Follow God. The poet says that Law rules all. And it is enough to remember that law rules all.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
