The Crusades Through Arab Eyes • Amin Maalouf“I want death to find me planting my cabbages, but caring little for it, and even less for my imperfect garden.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Observe always that everything is the result of a change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and to make new ones like them.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.
