“One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”
The Counterfeiters • Andre Gide“Once a gentleman, and always a gentleman.”
Little Dorrit • Charles Dickens“Fathers and teachers, I ponder, "What is hell?" I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“What good men most biologists are, the tenors of the scientific world — temperamental, moody, lecherous, loud-laughing, and healthy. Your true biologist will sing you a song as loud and off-key as will a blacksmith, for he knows that morals are too often diagnostic of prostatitis and stomach ulcers. Sometimes he may proliferate a little too much in all directions, but he is as easy to kill as any other organism, and meanwhile he is very good company, and at least he does not confuse a low hormone productivity with moral ethics.”
The Log from the sea of Cortez • John Steinbeck“When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.”
The Hunchback of Notre Dame • VICTOR HUGO
