The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Every physical quality admired by men in women is in direct connection with the manifold functions of women for the propagation of the species.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“There is a virtue, Simmias, which is named courage. Is not that a special attribute of the philosopher? ...Again, there is temperance.
