“Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments flit away and a sunny spirit takes their place.”
What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us • Mark Twain“The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“ “If I had listened to the critics I'd have died drunk in the gutter.””
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov““Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“I answer, Socrates, that rhetoric is the art of persuasion in courts of law and other assemblies, as I was just now saying, and about the just and unjust.”
Gorgias • Plato
