“I speak what appears to me the general opinion; and where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“Here and there, an old tub was put to catch the droppings of rain-water from a roof, or they were banked up with mud into a little pond like a large dirt-pie.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens“The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the gift is acknowledged; it is the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that is weighed.”
Epistulae morales ad Lucilium • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“The best definition of man is: a being that goes on two legs and is ungrateful.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“He tried to weigh his soul to see if it was a poet's soul. Melancholy was the dominant note of his temperament, he thought, but it was a melancholy tempered by recurrences of faith and resignation and simple joy. If he could give expression to it in a book of poems perhaps men would listen.”
Dubliners • James Joyce
