See All“ “Do not be surprised by anything, truth and people have two sides.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“Variant: Death hangs over thee. While thou livest, while it is in thy power, be good.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“The strange thing about life is that though the nature of it must have been apparent to every one for hundreds of years, no one has left any adequate account of it.”
Jacob's Room • Virginia Woolf“He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“The species with eyes appears suddenly, capriciously as it were, and it is this species which changes the environment by creating its visible aspect. The eye does not come into being because it is needed. Just the contrary; because the eye appears it can henceforth be applied as a serviceable instrument. Each species builds up its stock of useful habits by selecting among, and taking advantage of, the innumerable useless actions which a living being performs out of sheer exuberance.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
