“It is a rare life that remains orderly even in private. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Human nature is the same everywhere; it deifies success, it has nothing but scorn for defeat.”
Joan of Arc • Mark Twain“That beauty which is meant by art is no mere accident of human life which people can take or leave, but a positive necessity of life if we are to live as nature meant us to, that is to say unless we are content to be less than men.”
Art and the Handicraftsman • Oscar Wilde“Stop being who you were and become who you are.”
The Zahir • Paulo Coelho“The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there.

On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde
