“How easy it is to repel and to wipe away every impression which is troublesome or unsuitable, and immediately to be in all tranquility.”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“Long only for what you have.”
Fruits of the Earth • Andre Gide“He began to seach among the infinite series of impressions which time had laid down, leaf upon leaf, fold upon fold softly, incessantly upon his brain; among scents, sounds; voices, harsh, hollow, sweet; and lights passing, and brooms tapping; and the wash and hush of the sea.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“This that I am, whatever it be, is mere flesh and a little breathe and the ruling Reason ”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius““Wherever you are , some will want to ask questions about your skin or your prayers. Beware of gratifying their instincts, my son, beware of bending before the multitude! Muslim, Jew or Christian, they must take you as you are, or lose you. When men's minds seem narrow to you, tell yourself that the land of God is broad; broad His hands and broad His heart. Never hesitate to go far away, beyond all seas, all frontiers, all countries, all beliefs.'”
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf
