“It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But ... it is better to be good than to be ugly.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man. It happens to nearly everyone. You can feel it growing or preparing like a fuse burning toward dynamite. It is a feeling in the stomach, a delight of the nerves, of the forearms. The skin tastes the air, and every deep-drawn breath is sweet. Its beginning has the pleasure of a great stretching yawn; it flashes in the brain and the whole world glows outside your eyes. A man may have lived all his life in the gray, and the land and trees of him dark and somber. The events, even the important ones, may have trooped by faceless and pale. And then — the glory — so that a cricket song sweetens the ears, the smell of the earth rises chanting to his nose, and dappling light under a tree blesses his eyes. Then a man pours outward, a torrent of him, and yet he is not diminished.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“There are people who exist in this world not like entities but like the speckles or spots on something.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol
