“We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“To give the devil his due.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“An old proverb fetched from the outward and visible world says: "Only the man that works gets the bread." Strangely enough this proverb does not aptly apply in that world to which it expressly belongs. For the outward world is subjected to the law of imperfection, and again and again the experience is repeated that he too who does not work gets the bread, and that he who sleeps gets it more abundantly than the man who works. In the outward world everything is made payable to the bearer, this world is in bondage to the law of indifference, and to him who has the ring, the spirit of the ring is obedient, whether he be Noureddin or Aladdin, and he who has the world's treasure, has it, however he got it.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard“It matters not whether you place the sick man on a wooden bed or one of gold; wherever you lay him, he carries his disease along with him.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.”
The Alchemist • Paulo Coelho
