“Where there have been powerful governments, societies, religions, public opinions, in short wherever there has been tyranny, there the solitary philosopher has been hated; for philosophy offers an asylum to a man into which no tyranny can force it way, the inward cave, the labyrinth of the heart.”
Untimely Meditations • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“A little in one's own pocket is better than much in another man's purse.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes““Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell“To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.”
Northanger Abbey • Jane Austen“I am I and my circumstance, and if I don't save it I don't save myself.”
Meditations on Quixote • Jose Ortega y Gasset
