“A lady, without a family, was the very best preserver of furniture in the world.”
Persuasion • Jane Austen“If you seek truth, you will not seek by every means to gain a victory; and if you have found truth, you will have the gain of not being defeated.”
Fragment • Epictetus“In the little world in which children have their existence whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice. It may be only small injustice that the child can be exposed to; but the child is small, and its world is small, and its rocking-horse stands as many hands high, according to scale, as a big-boned Irish hunter.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“″‘And if there were a contest, and he had to compete in measuring the shadows with the prisoners who had never moved out of the den, while his sight was still weak, and before his eyes had become steady (and the time which would be needed to acquire this new habit of sight might be very considerable), would he not be ridiculous? Men would say of him that up he went and down he came without his eyes; and that it was better not even to think of ascending; and if any one tried to loose another and lead him up to the light, let them only catch the offender, and they would put him to death.’ ‘No question,’ he said.””
Republic • Plato“It is the stillest words that bring the storm.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche
