“Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Everything about woman is a riddle, and everything about woman has a single solution: that is, pregnancy.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“By a small sample we may judge of the whole piece.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Naturally, what makes patriotic and religious fanatics such dangerous opponents is not the deaths of the fanatics themselves, but their willingness to accept the deaths of a fraction of their number in order to annihilate or crush their infidel enemy.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“On the whole, more men had perhaps escaped into the war than from it.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
