The Zahir • Paulo Coelho“All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“The teacher reminded us that Rome's liberties were not auctioned off in a day, but were bought slowly, gradually, furtively, little by little; first with a little corn and oil for the exceedingly poor and wretched, later with corn and oil for voters who were not quite so poor, later still with corn and oil for pretty much every man that had a vote to sell--exactly our own history over again.”

I tell you that there are terrible temptations that it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to. To stake all one's life on a single moment, to risk everything on one throw, whether the stake be power or pleasure, I care not -- there is no weakness in that.”
An Ideal Husband • Oscar Wilde“Being is unrecognizable unless it manages to seem, and seeming is feeble unless it manages to be.”
Gorgias • Plato
