“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

“Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.”

Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

““The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.””

Animal Farm • George Orwell

“The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.”

Book III • Marcus Aurelius

“Pleasure is Nature’s test, her sign of approval. When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment.”

The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde
