Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“He who is brave is free.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“We admitted that everything living is born of the dead. For if the soul existed before birth, and in coming to life and being born can be born only from death and dying, must she not after death continue to exist, since she has to be born again?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! You aren't a child anymore.... The longer you wait, the more you'll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better. From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do -- now.”
The Art of Living • Epictetus““Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire, / And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire, / Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves, / So late emerged from, shall so soon expire.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam
