“Possessions are generally diminished by possession.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.”
Thyestes • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in midair by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to the grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in.”
A Room of One's Own • Virginia Woolf“It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain“Look to the essence of a thing, whether it be a point of doctrine, of practice, or of interpretation.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius
