Ma nouvelle quote

Axelle

It is better to excel in any single art than to arrive only at mediocrity in several, so moderate skill in several is to be preferred where one cannot attain to perfection in any.

Pliny The Younger

One might enumerate the items of high civilization, as it exists in other countries, which are absent from the texture of American life, until it should become a wonder to know what was left.

Theodore Roosevelt

The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.

Germaine Greer

John Florio

Oh, never mind the fashion. When one has a style of one's own, it is always twenty times better.

Posterity: you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.

John Quincy Adams
