“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“I answer, Socrates, that rhetoric is the art of persuasion in courts of law and other assemblies, as I was just now saying, and about the just and unjust.”
Gorgias • Plato“The rain is ever falling, drip, drip, drip, by day and night, upon the broad flagged terrace-pavement.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens“The general function of dreams is to try to restore our psychological balance by producing dream material that re-establishes, in a subtle way, the total psychic equilibrium.”
Man and His Symbols • Carl Gustav Jung“"Classic." A book which people praise and don't read.”
Following the Equator • Mark Twain
