“Moments of their secret life together burst like stars upon his memory.”
Dubliners • James Joyce“Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.”
The Portrait of Mr. W.H. • Oscar Wilde“To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm's way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.”
The Common Reader • Virginia Woolf“I would not have him sorrow at my hard lot, or say at the burial, Thus we lay out Socrates, or, Thus we follow him to the grave or bury him; for false words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil. Be of good cheer then, my good Crito, and say that you are burying my body only, and do with that as is usual, and as you think best.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
