“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““Admission of ignorance is often the first step in our education.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune ... to lose both seems like carelessness.”
The importance of Being Earnest • Oscar Wilde“Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.
