“Beauty had this penalty -- it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life -- froze it. One forgot the little agitations; the flush, the pallor, some queer distortion, some light or shadow, which made the face unrecognisable for a moment and yet added a quality one saw for ever after. It was simpler to smooth that all out under the cover of beauty.”

To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf

“Think before thou speakest.”

Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes

“One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.”

Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

“There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.”

Hercules Furens • Lucius Annaeus Seneca

““It is the nature of men to be bound by the benefits they confer as much as by those they receive.””

The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli
