Journals • Andre Gide““The future is a forbidden dream.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“What would a narrative of happiness be like? All that can be described is what prepares it, and then what destroys it.”
The Immoralist • Andre Gide“It is a lovely night, and they are much to be pitied who have not been taught to feel, in some degree, as you do; who have not, at least, been given a taste for Nature in early life. They lose a great deal.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“This was the method which I adopted: I first assumed some principle which I judged to be the strongest, and then I affirmed as true whatever seemed to agree with this, whether relating to the cause or to anything else; and that which disagreed I regarded as untrue. ...I want to show you the nature of that cause which has occupied my thoughts, and I shall have to go back to those familiar words which are in the mouth of everyone, and first of all assume that there is an absolute beauty and goodness and greatness, and the like; grant me this, and I hope to be able to show you the nature of the cause, and to prove the immortality of the soul.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
