“It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.”
De Profundis • Oscar Wilde““The vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Reverence the gods, and help men. Short is life.”
Book VI • Marcus Aurelius“The best definition of man is: a being that goes on two legs and is ungrateful.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski
