“You may doubt I found comfort in England, But, there, 'tis a refuge from dangers! Where a Cromwell dictated to Milton, Republicans ne'er can be strangers!”
The Refugee's Haven • VICTOR HUGO“I learned something recently: our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives...”
The Zahir • Paulo Coelho“Our sex is ultimately laid down by our genes.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“Observe always that everything is the result of a change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and to make new ones like them.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“They’re afraid because they have never accepted themselves. A community consisting exclusively of people afraid of the unknown in themselves! They all feel that the rules they live by are no longer valid, that they’re following outdated commandments; neither their religions nor their morality, nothing is suited to what we need. For a century and more, Europe has done nothing but study and build factories! They know exactly how many grams of powder it takes to kill someone, but they don’t know how to pray to God, they don’t even know how to be contented for an hour at a time.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
