“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are laid waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”

Seagull • Anton Chekhov

“A learned man is an idler who kills time with study. Beware of his false knowledge: it is more dangerous than ignorance.”

Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw

“"When I meet a man who can hold his own beside me," he said with slow deliberation, "then I'll change my opinion of myself. ”

Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev

“The sight of a wedding always has a disturbing effect on young girls; at such moments a mysterious sense of solidarity with their own sex takes possession of them.”

Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig

“And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.”

A Midsummer Night's Dream  • William Shakespeare
