See All“And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.”
A Midsummer Night's Dream • William Shakespeare“The elastic heart of youth cannot be compressed into one constrained shape long at a time.”
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer • Mark Twain“Will you not allow that I have as much of the spirit of prophecy in me as the swans? For they, when they perceive that they must die, having sung all their life long, do then sing more than ever, rejoicing in the thought that they are about to go away to the god whose ministers they are.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. When we are no longer able to change a situation-just think of an incurable disease such as inoperable cancer-we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl“No one is useless in this world ... who lightens the burden of it for any one else.”
Our Mutual Friend • Charles Dickens
