“If lowborn men could stand up to those born to rule, religion, government, the whole world would fall to pieces ... So it would; so it will ... then the pieces will be put together again by such as destroyed it.”
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights • John Steinbeck“[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““She was, as you know already without as yet knowing anything, the Lily of this valley, where she grew for heaven, filling it with the fragrance of her virtues.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac““Sometimes we have to wait, for the best.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos““If ever my life can be of any use to you, come and claim it.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
