“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes““The power and capacity of learning exists in the soul already; and that just as the eye was unable to turn from darkness to light without the whole body, so too the instrument of knowledge can only by the movement of the whole soul be turned from the world of becoming into that of being, and learn by degrees to endure the sight of being, and of the brightest and best of being, or in other words, of the good.””
Republic • Plato“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens““The heat was beginning to scorch my cheeks; beads of sweat were gathering in my eyebrows. It was just the same sort of heat as at my mother’s funeral, and I had the same disagreeable sensations—especially in my forehead, where all the veins seemed to be bursting through the skin.””
Stranger • Albert Camus“In times of exceptional stress, nature will often give people's behavior so tragical a complexion that neither a picture nor a verbal description is competent to represent its titanic energy.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig
