“Absolute greatness will never be great and also small, but that greatness in us or in the concrete will never admit the small or admit of even being exceeded; instead of this, one of two things will happen—either the greater will fly and retire before the opposite, which is the less, or the advance of the less will cease to exist; but will not, if allowing or admitting smallness, be changed by that...nor can any other opposite which remains the same ever be or become its own opposite, but either passes away or perishes in the change.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The sweetness of many things from that time still stirs and touches me with melancholy: dark and well-lighted alleys, houses and towers, chimes and faces, rooms rich and comfortable, warm and relaxed, rooms pregnant with secrets. Everything bears the scent of warm intimacy, servant girls, household remedies, and dried fruits.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde““I was assailed by memories of a life that wasn’t mine anymore, but one in which I’d found the simplest and most lasting joys.””
Stranger • Albert Camus“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde
