“Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.”
Intellectual Autobiography • VICTOR HUGO““Life is like a fire. Flames forgotten by the night on the road, ashes scattered in front of the wind; here, a human life has come and gone.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde“It is the habit of the boa constrictor to besmear the body of his victim with a foul slime before he devours it; and there are many people in England, and perhaps elsewhere, who seem to be unable to contemplate military operations for clear political objects, unless they can cajole themselves into the belief that their enemy are utterly and hopelessly vile. To this end the Dervishes, from the Mahdi and the Khalifa downwards, have been loaded with every variety of abuse and charged with all conceivable crimes. This may be very comforting to philanthropic persons at home; but when an army in the field becomes imbued with the idea that the enemy are vermin who cumber the earth, instances of barbarity may easily be the outcome.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“You may break your heart, but men will still go on as before.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius
