“It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“You are a king by your own fireside, as much as any monarch in his throne.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Art is Individualism, and Individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. Therein lies its immense value. For what it seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“The measure of a person's disposition is this: ... how great is the distance between his understanding and his actions. Basically we all understand the highest. A child, the simplest person, and the wisest all understand the highest. ... But what makes the difference is whether we understand it at a distance—so that we do not act accordingly, or close at hand—so that we act accordingly and "cannot do otherwise."”

Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
