“Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.”
The Old Curiosity Shop • Charles Dickens“Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment -- a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man’s existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“He didn't at all see why the busy bee should be proposed as a model to him; he supposed the Bee liked to make honey, or he wouldn't do it -- nobody asked him. It was not necessary for the bee to make such a merit of his tastes.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens“A man far oftener appears to have a decided character from persistently following his temperament than from persistently following his principles.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““Don't be so timid! When you were a child, didn't you speak out the truth that the oldest ones kept secret? Well, you were right then. You must find the time of innocence in yourself again, because that was also the time of courage.””
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf
