“ No waves of native grain ever stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast of North America. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”
The Hobbit • J.R.R Tolkien“Everywhere soldiering entails the same busily empty monotony; hour after hour is mapped out in accordance with inflexible, antediluvian regulations, and even one's leisure does not seem to offer much in the way of variety. In the officers' mess the same faces, the same conversation; at the cafe the same games of cards and billiards.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran
