“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Be it well understood, I am free by compulsion, whether I wish to be or not. Freedom is not an activity pursued by an entity that, apart from and previous to such pursuit, is already possessed of a fixed being. To be free means to be lacking in constitutive identity, not to have subscribed to a determined being, to be able to be other than what one was, to be unable to install oneself once and for all in any given being. The only attribute of the fixed, stable being in the free being is this constitutive instability.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Women have served all these centuries as looking-glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.”
A Room of One's Own • Virginia Woolf“It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.”
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes • Arthur Conan Doyle“He that knows not what the world is, knows not where he is himself. He that knows not for what he was made, knows not what he is nor what the world is.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius
