“We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO““The sound of trees comes from all sides. From leaves, branches, roots… If you put your ear to my trunk, you can hear my heartbeat.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos““I will begin with what in my opinion is your lack of restraint."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother’s cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
