“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
The Happy Prince and Other Stories • Oscar Wilde“ "Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.”
Tortilla Flat • John Steinbeck“Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“The year 2000: April 43rd.—To-day is a day of splendid triumph. Spain has a king; he has been found, and I am he.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol
