“When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.”

Ceaser and Cleopatra • George Bernard Shaw

“Soon you will have forgotten the world, and soon the world will have forgotten you.”

Book VII • Marcus Aurelius

“Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, who so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility.”

Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard

Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw
