““The vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“The Gospels contain a fairy-story, or a story of a larger kind which embraces all the essence of fairy-stories. ... But this story has entered History and the primary world; ... It has pre-eminently the "inner consistency of reality." There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true on its own merits. For the Art of it has the supremely convincing tone of Primary Art, that is, of Creation. ...this story is supreme; and it is true. Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels, and of men--and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused.”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien“I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an' he gets sick.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck““He alone knew something that even initiates didn’t know how easy it was to fast.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka“The English country gentleman galloping after a fox -- the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.”
A Woman of No Importance • Oscar Wilde
