“Tell me thy company, and I'll tell thee what thou art.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde“What people call insincerity is simply a method by which we can multiply our personalities.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde“″“Today, we’ll hear the teachings from his mouth.” said Govinda. Siddhartha did not answer. He felt little curiosity for the teachings, he did not believe that they would teach him anything new, but he had, just as Govinda had, heard the contents of this Buddha’s teachings again and again, though these reports only represented second- or third-hand information. But attentively he looked at Gotama’s head, his shoulders, his feet, his quietly dangling hand, and it seemed to him as if every joint of every finger of this hand was of these teachings, spoke of, breathed of, exhaled the fragrant of, glistened of truth. This man, this Buddha was truthful down to the gesture of his last finger. This man was holy. Never before, Siddhartha had venerated a person so much, never before he had loved a person as much as this one.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed.”
Martin Chuzzlewit • Charles Dickens
