“ “He who desires nothing, hopes for nothing, and is afraid of nothing, cannot be an artist.””
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“Find time still to be learning somewhat good, and give up being desultory.”
Meditations • Marcus Aurelius“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“An old proverb fetched from the outward and visible world says: "Only the man that works gets the bread." Strangely enough this proverb does not aptly apply in that world to which it expressly belongs. For the outward world is subjected to the law of imperfection, and again and again the experience is repeated that he too who does not work gets the bread, and that he who sleeps gets it more abundantly than the man who works. In the outward world everything is made payable to the bearer, this world is in bondage to the law of indifference, and to him who has the ring, the spirit of the ring is obedient, whether he be Noureddin or Aladdin, and he who has the world's treasure, has it, however he got it.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard
