See All“To be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over. It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.”
Innocents Abroad • Mark Twain“Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“The assurance that we have no means of answering [final] questions is no valid excuse for callousness towards them. The more deeply should we feel, down to the roots of our being, their pressure and their sting. Whose hunger has ever been [sated] with the knowledge that he could not eat?”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
