“I have taken more good from alcohol than alcohol has taken from me.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer““What's important isn't fame or glamour, none of the things I used to dream about, it's the ability to endure.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““Let the confusion begin, no one can stop it, no one can escape, and some look for ways to take advantage of it.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“Talking nonsense is man's only privilege that distinguishes him from all other organisms.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski
