Emma • Jane Austen

““And justice lies in appearance, at least in this world, at least in the eyes of the multitude.””

Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf

“By the sensuous, the flesh, Christianity understands selfishness. A conflict between spirit and flesh is inconceivable unless there is a rebellious spirit on the side of flesh, with which the spirit then contends; similarly, a conflict between spirit and a stone or between spirit and a tree is inconceivable.”

Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard

“I recommend all adventurous youths who abandon vessels in romantic islands during the rainy season to provide themselves with umbrellas.”

Typee • Herman Melville

“There are people who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.”

Emma • Jane Austen
