“The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde“God is the middle term. Only by loving God above all else can one love the neighbor. Love for the neighbor is therefore the eternal equality in loving. Equality is simply not to make distinctions and eternal equality is unconditionally not to make the slightest distinction, unqualifiedly not to make the slightest distinction. The essential Christian is itself too weighty, in its movements too earnest to scurry about, dancing, in the frivolity of such facile talk about the higher, highest, and the supremely highest.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain“My two main conclusions are that technology develops cumulatively, rather than in isolated heroic acts, and that it finds most of its uses after it has been invented, rather than being invented to meet a foreseen need.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“To a heart transformed by love, it is a mandolin.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
