“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”
The Nightingale and the Rose • Oscar Wilde“Consider nothing impossible, then treat possiblities as probabilities.”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“It’s not a matter of old or new forms; a person writes without thinking about any forms, he writes because it flows freely from his soul.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“[In what way would you have us bury you?] In any way that you like; only you must get hold of me, and take care that I do not walk away from you. ...I cannot make Crito believe that I am the same Socrates who have been talking and conducting the argument; he fancies that I am the other Socrates whom he will soon see, a dead body... And though I have spoken many words in the endeavor to show that when I have drunk the poison I shall leave you and go to the joys of the blessed—these words of mine, with which I comforted you and myself, have had, I perceive, no effect upon Crito. ...you should be my surety to him that I shall not remain, but go away and depart; and then he will suffer less at my death, and not be grieved when he sees my body being burned or buried.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
