“All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed — selected out by accident. And so we're overbrave and overfearful — we're kind and cruel as children. We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers. We boast and are impressed. We're oversentimental and realistic. We are mundane and materialistic — and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals? We eat too much. We have no taste, no sense of proportion. We throw our energy about like waste. In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“Sometimes a man wants to be stupid if it lets him do a thing his cleverness forbids.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“ “An artist's flair is sometimes worth a scientist's brains.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“The teacher reminded us that Rome's liberties were not auctioned off in a day, but were bought slowly, gradually, furtively, little by little; first with a little corn and oil for the exceedingly poor and wretched, later with corn and oil for voters who were not quite so poor, later still with corn and oil for pretty much every man that had a vote to sell--exactly our own history over again.”
Purchasing Civic Virtue • Mark Twain“Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
