“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“What freedom men and women could have, were they not constantly tricked and trapped and enslaved and tortured by their sexuality! The only drawback in that freedom is that without it one would not be a human. One would be a monster.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“It is no small thing, when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.”
Master Humphrey's Clock • Charles Dickens“What are the choices that we must make if we are now to succeed, and not to fail? [...] Two types of choices seem to me to have been crucial to tipping their outcomes towards success or failure: long-term planning, and willingness to reconsider core values. On reflection, we can also recognize the crucial role of these same two choices for the outcomes of our individual lives. One of those choices has depended on the courage to practice long-term thinking, and to make bold, courageous, anticipatory decisions at a time when problems have become perceptible but before they have reached crisis proportions. [...] The other crucial choice illuminated by the past involves the courage to make painful decisions about values. Which of the values that formerly served a society well can continue to be maintained under new changed circumstances? Which of these treasured values must instead be jettisoned and replaced with different approaches?”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond
