“What are you laughing at? You are laughing at yourselves!”
The Inspector General • Nikolai Gogol“It is perilous to study too deeply the arts of the Enemy, for good or for ill.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“Keeping up appearances, living in borrowed finery, wearing masks, the drapery of convention, play-acting for the benefit of others and oneself ... the constant fluttering of human beings around the one flame of vanity is so much the rule and the law that there is virtually nothing which defies understanding so much as the fact that an honest and pure drive towards truth should ever have emerged in them. They are deeply immersed in illusions and dream-images; their eyes merely glide across the surface of things and see 'forms'; nowhere does their perception lead to truth.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““When a man is rich, whether in gold or in knowledge, he must treat the poverty of others with consideration.””
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf“Gratitude is a rare frame of mind; and those who are grateful can seldom find a way to express what they feel. They are overwhelmed by silence; are shamefaced; and, sometimes, actually try to hide their feelings.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig
