“ “We should show life neither as it is, nor as it should be, but as we see it in our dreams.””

The Cherry Orchard • Anton Chekhov

“Consider thyself to be dead, and to have completed thy life up to the present time; and live according to nature the remainder which is allowed thee.”

Book VII • Marcus Aurelius

“At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other even more reasonable says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man's power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.”

War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy

“Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry. When we consider a book, we mustn't ask ourselves what it says but what it means...”

The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco

“Is the only lesson of history to be that mankind is unteachable?”

Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
