“ Literacy made the Spaniards heirs to a huge body of knowledge about human behavior and history. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“It is no use to blame the looking glass if your face is awry.”
The Inspector General • Nikolai Gogol“The finest virtues can become deformed with age. The precise mind becomes finicky; the thrifty man, miserly; the cautious man, timorous; the man of imagination, fanciful. Even perseverance ends up in a sort of stupidity. Just as, on the other hand, being too willing to understand too many opinions, too diverse ways of seeing, constancy is lost and the mind goes astray in a restless fickleness.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“That glorious vision of doing good is so often the sanguine mirage of so many good minds.”
A Tale of Two Cities • Charles Dickens“...why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!”
Emma • Jane Austen
