“ “He who desires nothing, hopes for nothing, and is afraid of nothing, cannot be an artist.””
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“Once a gentleman, and always a gentleman.”
Little Dorrit • Charles Dickens“A man can die but once.”
Henry IV • William Shakespeare“Translating from one language to another, unless it is from Greek and Latin, the queens of all languages, is like looking at Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, for although the figures are visible, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and cannot be seen with the smoothness and color of the right side.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Pride is an established conviction of one's own paramount worth in some particular respect, while vanity is the desire of rousing such a conviction in others, and it is generally accompanied by the secret hope of ultimately coming to the same conviction oneself. Pride works from within; it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer
