“On the whole, more men had perhaps escaped into the war than from it.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Virtue is persecuted by the wicked more than it is loved by the good.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.”
Macbeth • William Shakespeare“Before the spread of alphabetic writing, systems making much use of logograms were more common and included Egyptian hieroglyphs, Maya glyphs, and Sumerian cuneiform.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
