“precious to us. And don't you tell me these fruits are worthless; the poorest dauber, un barbouilleur, the man who plays dance music for five farthings an evening, even they are of more use than you because they stand for civilization and not for.”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev“Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Ah! there is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.”
Emma • Jane Austen““People take things easily from children.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu
