“False hopes are more dangerous than fears.”
The Children of Hurin • J.R.R Tolkien“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien“There are few men who durst publish to the world the prayers they make to God. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne““Experience had proven that for about forty days, through gradually intensified publicity, you could go on stimulating a city’s interest, but beyond that time there was no audience.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka“"Let your occupations be few," says the sage, "if you would lead a tranquil life."”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius
