“Absolute greatness will never be great and also small, but that greatness in us or in the concrete will never admit the small or admit of even being exceeded; instead of this, one of two things will happen—either the greater will fly and retire before the opposite, which is the less, or the advance of the less will cease to exist; but will not, if allowing or admitting smallness, be changed by that...nor can any other opposite which remains the same ever be or become its own opposite, but either passes away or perishes in the change.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“I try to catch every sentence, every word you and I say, and quickly lock all these sentences and words away in my literary storehouse because they might come in handy.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide““The people do not wish to be ruled nor oppressed by the nobles, and the nobles wish to rule and oppress the people.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“And what sort of lives do these people, who pose as being moral, lead themselves? My dear fellow, you forget that we are in the native land of the hypocrite.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde
