““My father used to say that one of the great offences of sham politeness was the neglect of promises. When anything is demanded of you that you cannot do, refuse positively and leave no loopholes for false hopes; on the other hand, grant at once whatever you are willing to bestow.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac““The prison-house is the world of sight, the light of the fire is the sun, and you will not misapprehend me if you interpret the journey upwards to be the ascent of the soul into the intellectual world according to my poor belief, which, at your desire, I have expressed—whether rightly or wrongly God knows.””

Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“A wise man loses nothing, if he but save himself.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible.”
Future Shock • Alvin Toffler
