“The idea of beauty is the fundamental idea of everything. In the world we see only distortions of the fundamental idea, but art, by imagination, may lift itself to the height of this idea. Art is therefore akin to creation.”

What is art? • Leo Tolstoy

“Who but a stupid barbarian could burn so much beauty in his stove and destroy that which he cannot make?”

Seagull • Anton Chekhov

““It’s not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us that hurts us.””

The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey

“Much better an intelligent hell than a stupid paradise.”

Ninety-Three • VICTOR HUGO

“Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth.”

The Enchiridion • Epictetus
