“I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.”
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes • Arthur Conan Doyle“In our monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“Even in those cities which seem to enjoy the blessings of peace, and where the arts florish, the inhabitants are devoured by envy, cares and anxieties, which are greater plagues than any experienced in a town when it is under siege.”
Candide • Voltaire“Who but a stupid barbarian could burn so much beauty in his stove and destroy that which he cannot make?”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“And are not the temperate exactly in the same case? They are temperate because they are intemperate—which may seem to be a contradiction, but is nevertheless the sort of thing which happens with this foolish temperance. For there are pleasures which they must have, and are afraid of losing; and therefore they abstain from one class of pleasures because they are overcome by another: and whereas intemperance is defined as "being under the domination of pleasure," they overcome only because they are overcome by pleasure.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
