“Of all ghosts, the ghosts of our old loves are the worst.”
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes • Arthur Conan Doyle“This Being of mine, whatever it really is, consists of a little flesh, a little breath, and the part which governs.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius“Optimism is not only a false but also a pernicious doctrine, for it presents life as a desirable state and man's happiness as its aim and object. Starting from this, everyone then believes he has the most legitimate claim to happiness and enjoyment. If, as usually happens, these do not fall to his lot, he believes that he suffers an injustice, in fact that he misses the whole point of his existence.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“Speech is a powerful master and achieves the most divine feats with the smallest and least evident body. It can stop fear, relieve pain, create joy, and increase pity”
Gorgias • Plato“True glory strikes root, and even extends itself; all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can anything feigned be lasting.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero
