“It needs to realize that what happens to everyone—bad and good alike—is neither good nor bad. (Hays translation)”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”
The Decay of Lying • Oscar Wilde“Translating from one language to another, unless it is from Greek and Latin, the queens of all languages, is like looking at Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, for although the figures are visible, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and cannot be seen with the smoothness and color of the right side.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Russia, are you not speeding along like a fiery and matchless troika?”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer
