“What a man has, so much he is sure of.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“No one knows how greatness comes to a man. It may lie in his blackness, sleeping, or it may lance into him like those driven fiery particles from outer space. These things, however, are known about greatness: need gives it life and puts it in action; it never comes without pain; it leaves a man changed, chastened, and exalted at the same time--he can never return to simplicity.”
Sweet Thursday • John Steinbeck“Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, who so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility.”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard“ "That was something his parents did not understand very well; over the years, they had become convinced that this job would provide for Gregor for his entire life..."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“If there is anything beautiful other than absolute beauty, that can only be beautiful as far as it partakes of absolute beauty—and this I should say of everything. ...by beauty all things become beautiful. ...by greatness only great things become great and greater and greater, and by smallness the less becomes less.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
