“Art is not a copy of the real world; one of the damn things is enough.”
Languages of Art • Virginia Woolf“He who is a philosopher or lover of learning, and is entirely pure at departing, is alone permitted to reach the gods. And this is the reason, Simmias and Cebes, why the true votaries of philosophy abstain from all fleshly lusts, and endure and refuse to give themselves up to them—not because they fear poverty or ruin of their families, like the lovers of money, and the world in general; nor like the lovers of power and honor, because they dread the dishonor or disgrace of evil deeds.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Loyalty that is bought with money, may be overcome by money.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own. ”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“Do not economize on the hymeneal rites; do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO
