““For let me tell you, that the more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.””
Republic • Plato“The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“Happiness is to have a little string onto which things will attach themselves.”
A Moment's Liberty • Virginia Woolf“All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed — selected out by accident. And so we're overbrave and overfearful — we're kind and cruel as children. We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers. We boast and are impressed. We're oversentimental and realistic. We are mundane and materialistic — and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals? We eat too much. We have no taste, no sense of proportion. We throw our energy about like waste. In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers.”
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes • Arthur Conan Doyle
