“Love the little trade which thou hast learned, and be content therewith.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“To know how to free oneself is nothing; the arduous thing is to know what to do with one's freedom.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“I saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation -- a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any Here. They spoke quietly of how they wanted to go someday, to move about, free and unanchored, not toward something but away from something. I saw this look and heard this yearning everywhere in every states I visited. Nearly every American hungers to move.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“Art lifts man from his personal life into the universal life.”
What is art? • Leo Tolstoy“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu
