“The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde““One who becomes a prince through the favour of the people ought to keep them friendly, and this he can easily do seeing they only ask not to be oppressed by him.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“It's unfortunate that this has happened. No. It's fortunate that this has happened and I've remained unharmed by it—not shattered by the present or frightened of the future. It could have happened to anyone. But not everyone could have remained unharmed by it.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“We are so focused on figuring out the best approach that we never get around to taking action.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“The Gospels contain a fairy-story, or a story of a larger kind which embraces all the essence of fairy-stories. ... But this story has entered History and the primary world; ... It has pre-eminently the "inner consistency of reality." There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true on its own merits. For the Art of it has the supremely convincing tone of Primary Art, that is, of Creation. ...this story is supreme; and it is true. Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels, and of men--and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused.”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien
