“There are men that will make you books, and turn them loose into the world, with as much dispatch as they would do a dish of fritters.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“People who are most afraid of their dreams convince themselves they don't dream at all.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck“Were civilization itself to be estimated by some of its results, it would seem perhaps better for what we call the barbarous part of the world to remain unchanged.”
Typee • Herman Melville“Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Necessity is a violent school-mistress.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne
