“The tragedy of the poor is that they can afford nothing but self denial. Beautiful sins, like beautiful things, are the privilege of the rich.”
Oscariana • Oscar Wilde“Dreams are the bright creatures of poem and legend, who sport on earth in the night season, and melt away in the first beam of the sun, which lights grim care and stern reality on their daily pilgrimage through the world.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“A man’s maturity: that is to have rediscovered the seriousness he possessed as a child at play.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“It matters not whether you place the sick man on a wooden bed or one of gold; wherever you lay him, he carries his disease along with him.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“When does the soul obtain truth?—for in attempting to consider anything in company with the body she is obviously deceived. ...Then must not existence be revealed to her in thought, if at all? ...And thought is best when the mind is gathered into herself and none of these things trouble her—neither sounds nor sights nor pain nor any pleasure—when she has as little as possible to do with the body, and has no bodily sense or feeling, but is aspiring after being? ...And in this the philosopher dishonors the body; his soul runs away from the body and desires to be alone and by herself?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
