“Lord, what fools these mortals be!”
A Midsummer Night's Dream • William Shakespeare“The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous.”
The importance of Being Earnest • Oscar Wilde“It is not fit that I should give myself pain, for I have never intentionally given pain even to another.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius“Once it's been proved to you that you're descended from an ape, it's no use pulling a face; just accept it. Once they've proved to you that a single droplet of your own fat must be dearer to you than a hundred thousand of your fellow human beings and consequently that all so-called virtues and duties are nothing but ravings and prejudices, then accept that too, because there's nothing to be done.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“Is not this insanity plea becoming rather common? Is it not so common that the reader confidently expects to see it offered in every criminal case that comes before the courts?... Really, what we want now, is not laws against crime, but a law against insanity.”
A New Crime • Mark Twain
