“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”

The Art Of War • Sun Tzu

“Liberty ... is one of the most precious gifts which heaven has bestowed upon man; with it we cannot compare the treasures which the earth contains or the sea conceals; for liberty, as for honor, we can and ought to risk our lives; and on the other hand, captivity is the greatest evil that can befall a man.”

Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes

““Never hesitate to go far away, beyond all seas, all frontiers, all countries, all beliefs.””

Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf

“He who fears death either fears to lose all sensation or fears new sensations. In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.”

Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius

“Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.”

Moby Dick • Herman Melville
