“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”
The Canterville Ghost • Oscar Wilde“She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness. It is the feet of clay that make the gold of the image precious.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“I do not mean to affirm that the description which I have given of the soul and her missions is exactly true—a man of sense ought hardly say that. But I do say that, inasmuch as the soul is shown to be immortal, he may venture to think, not improperly or unworthily, that something of this kind is true.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Therefore it is that the evil principle of violence relegated to authority is ever increasing, and the evil becomes in time worse than that which it is supposed to control.”
The Kingdom of God is Within You • Leo Tolstoy“A monk should surely love his books with humility, wishing their good and not the glory of his own curiosity; but what the temptation of adultery is for laymen and the yearning for riches is for secular ecclesiastics, the seduction of knowledge is for monks.”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco
