““Being in love shows a person who he should be.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“All kings is mostly rapscallions.”
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn • Mark Twain“Every physical quality admired by men in women is in direct connection with the manifold functions of women for the propagation of the species.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“In former days, when wars arose from individual causes, from the policy of a Minister or the passion of a King, when they were fought by small regular armies of professional soldiers, and when their course was retarded by the difficulties of communication and supply, and often suspended by the winter season, it was possible to limit the liabilities of the combatants. But now, when mighty populations are impelled on each other, each individual severally embittered and inflamed—when the resources of science and civilisation sweep away everything that might mitigate their fury, a European war can only end in the ruin of the vanquished and the scarcely less fatal commercial dislocation and exhaustion of the conquerors. Democracy is more vindictive than Cabinets. The wars of peoples will be more terrible than those of kings.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
