“What man can pretend to know the riddle of a woman's mind?”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man. It happens to nearly everyone. You can feel it growing or preparing like a fuse burning toward dynamite. It is a feeling in the stomach, a delight of the nerves, of the forearms. The skin tastes the air, and every deep-drawn breath is sweet. Its beginning has the pleasure of a great stretching yawn; it flashes in the brain and the whole world glows outside your eyes. A man may have lived all his life in the gray, and the land and trees of him dark and somber. The events, even the important ones, may have trooped by faceless and pale. And then — the glory — so that a cricket song sweetens the ears, the smell of the earth rises chanting to his nose, and dappling light under a tree blesses his eyes. Then a man pours outward, a torrent of him, and yet he is not diminished.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“The union of opposites, in so far as they are really complementary, always results in the most perfect harmony; and the seemingly incongruous is often the most natural.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
