“Do you really think ... that it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations that it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to. To stake all one's life on a single moment, to risk everything on one throw, whether the stake be power or pleasure, I care not -- there is no weakness in that.”
An Ideal Husband • Oscar Wilde“The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society; rather the offspring of a nation's effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius.”
The Hunchback of Notre Dame • VICTOR HUGO“Do you remember you shot a seagull? A man came by chance, saw it and destroyed it, just to pass the time.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Of course, they come in different degrees and quantities. But there is no life where you can be in a state of sheer happiness for ever. And imagining there is just breeds more unhappiness in the life you’re in.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig“The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the gift is acknowledged; it is the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that is weighed.”
Epistulae morales ad Lucilium • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
