“By a small sample we may judge of the whole piece.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more”
The Castle • Franz Kafka“A woman especially, if she has the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.”
Northanger Abbey • Jane Austen“In this present life, I reckon that we make the nearest approach to knowledge when we have the least possible concern or interest in the body, and are not saturated with the bodily nature, but remain pure until the hour when God himself is pleased to release us. And then the foolishness of the body will be cleared away and we shall be pure and hold converse with othe pure souls, and know of ourselves the clear light everywhere; and this is surely the light of truth. For no impure thing is allowed to approach the pure. These are the sort of words, Simmias, which the true lovers of wisdom cannot help saying to one another, and thinking.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“It is crazy to want what is impossible. And impossible for the wicked not to do so. ”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius
