“Good painters imitated nature while bad ones vomited it.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“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“After a few months’ acquaintance with European “coffee,” one’s mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with its clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.”
A Tramp Abroad • Mark Twain“He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.”
So Be It; or, The Chips Are Down • Andre Gide
