“To tell the truth, I often felt uneasy when I thought of the excessive brittleness and fragility of the moon. The moon is generally repaired in Hamburg, and very imperfectly. It is done by a lame cooper, an obvious blockhead who has no idea how to do it. He took waxed thread and olive-oil—hence that pungent smell over all the earth which compels people to hold their noses. And this makes the moon so fragile that no men can live on it, but only noses. Therefore we cannot see our noses, because they are on the moon.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol“Men who neglect philosophy while busying themselves with ordinary affairs are like the Suitors [in the Odyssey] who desired Penelope but went to bed with her maids.”
Gorgias • Plato“What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won’t seem important at all.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““People can’t live with change if there’s not a changeless core inside them.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey““True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart."”
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac
