“Off with his head!”
Richard III • William Shakespeare“I have my own virtue, which I am constantly cultivating and refining by teaching myself not to tolerate in me or my surroundings anything but the exquisite.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“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“Do not so much be ashamed of that disgrace which proceeds from men's opinion as fly from that which comes from the truth.”
Fragment • Epictetus“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien
