“For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all Parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“If the ethical – that is, social morality – is the highest ... then no categories are needed other than the Greek philosophical categories.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard““This is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Among a number of intelligent suggestions there was finally this one too, strange as it may seem, that Chichikov might be Napoleon in disguise...”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other even more reasonable says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man's power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy
