O mundo não é uma fabrica de canceder desejos.

John Green

The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.

Epictetus

The dust of many crumbled cities settles over us like a forgetful doze, but we are older than those cities. We began as a mineral. We emerged into plant life and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again. That's how a young person turns toward a teacher. That's how a baby leans toward the breast, without knowing the secret of its desire, yet turning instinctively. Humankind is being led along an evolving course, through this migration of intelligences, and though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.

Rumi, The Dream That Must Be Int

Hannibal

Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle creativity.

Karl Lagerfeld

A tragedy, then, is the imitation of an action... with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.

Aristotle

The purest treasure mortal times afford, is spotless reputation; that away, men are but gilded loam or painted clay.

William Shakespeare

The simplest of women are wonderful liars who can extricate themselves from the most difficult dilemmas with a skill bordering on genius.

Guy de Maupassant
