“That beauty which is meant by art is no mere accident of human life which people can take or leave, but a positive necessity of life if we are to live as nature meant us to, that is to say unless we are content to be less than men.”
Art and the Handicraftsman • Oscar Wilde“Before the spread of alphabetic writing, systems making much use of logograms were more common and included Egyptian hieroglyphs, Maya glyphs, and Sumerian cuneiform.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“As nothing is straighter than that which is straight, so nothing is juster than that which is just.”
Fragment • Epictetus“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“Of course, they come in different degrees and quantities. But there is no life where you can be in a state of sheer happiness for ever. And imagining there is just breeds more unhappiness in the life you’re in.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig
