““Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise! / One thing at least is certain — This Life flies; / One thing is certain and the rest is Lies; / The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.””

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam

“Truly, whoever possesses little is that much less possessed: praised be a little poverty!”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche

“We are an unfortunate priest-ridden race and always were and always will be tell the end of the chapter.... A priest-ridden Godforsaken race.”

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce

“Art has to reveal to us ideas, formless spiritual essences. The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring. The painting of Gustave Moreau is the painting of ideas. The deepest poetry of Shelley, the words of Hamlet bring our mind into contact with the eternal wisdom, Plato's world of ideas. All the rest is the speculation of schoolboys for schoolboys.”

Ulysses • James Joyce

“ “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” ”

1984 • George Orwell
