“A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”

Richard III • William Shakespeare

“In some mysterious way, once one has gained an insight into human nature, that insight grows from day to day, and he to whom it has given to experience vicariously even one single form of earthly suffering acquires, by reason of this tragic lesson, an understanding of all its forms, even those most foreign to him, and apparently abnormal.”

Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig

“Desire may reflect anything from a desperate need to a transitory want. In either case, wealth is anything that satisfies the craving. It applies balm to the itch. It may, in fact, gratify more than one desire at a time. We may want a touch of beauty on our living room wall. A painting, even an inexpensive reproduction, may provide a small surge of pleasure every time we pause to look at it. The same work of art may simultaneously fulfill our desire to impress visitors with our splendid good taste, or our social importance. But wealth can also be a bank account, a bicycle, a hoard of food or a health insurance policy.”

 Revolutionary Wealth • Alvin Toffler

“It is a hopeless endeavour to attract people to a theatre unless they can be first brought to believe that they will never get in.”

Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens

“Many evil things there are that your strong walls and bright swords do not stay.”

The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien
