“It is a base thing for the countenance to be obedient and to regulate and compose itself as the mind commands, and for the mind not to be regulated and composed by itself.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“The gentleman lolling back in the chaise was neither dashingly handsome nor yet unbearably ugly, neither too stout nor yet too thin; it could not be claimed he was old but he was no stripling, either. His arrival in the town created no stir and was not marked by anything out of the ordinary.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“The color of truth is grey.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Take a book, the poorest one written, but read it with the passion that it is the only book you will read-ultimately you will read everything out of it, that is, as much as there was in yourself, and you could never get more out of reading, even if you read the best of books.”
Stages on Life's Way • Soren Kierkegaard““I was so upset that I was so disappointed that I wanted to die at that moment.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos
