“Whether he be an original or a plagiarist, man is the novelist of himself.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“I know that many people won’t believe that a child not yet eleven is capable of such feelings. It is not to those people that I am telling my story. I’m telling it to those who have greater knowledge of humanity. An adult who has learned how to transform part of his emotions into thought processes notices that such thoughts aren’t present in a child, and then concludes that the experiences aren’t present, either. But only seldom in my life have I had such deep and painful experiences as I had then.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“It is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows.”
Discourses • Epictetus“It is a true saying that a man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“A man should be upright, not kept upright.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius
