See All“Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“Even in those cities which seem to enjoy the blessings of peace, and where the arts florish, the inhabitants are devoured by envy, cares and anxieties, which are greater plagues than any experienced in a town when it is under siege.”
Candide • Voltaire“All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.”
The Portrait of Mr. W.H. • Oscar Wilde“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately steppint into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society; rather the offspring of a nation's effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius.”
The Hunchback of Notre Dame • VICTOR HUGO
