“„Mankind are not perfect, but one age is more or less hypocritical than another, and then simpletons say that its morality is high or low.“”
Le Pere Goriot • Honore de Balzac“I learned something recently: our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives...”
The Zahir • Paulo Coelho“Lightning will wreck its displeasures not only upon pillars, trees, and sheep, but upon altars and temples, and let the sacrilegious go free.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“I conceive that the founders of the mysteries had a real meaning and were not mere triflers when they intimated in a figure long ago that he who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world below will live in a slough, but that he who arrives there after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods. For "many," as they say in the mysteries, "are the thyrsus bearers, but few are the mystics,"—meaning, as I interpret the words, the true philosophers.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Moments of their secret life together burst like stars upon his memory.”
Dubliners • James Joyce
