The next best thing to saying a good thing yourself, is to quote one.

Victor Hugo

Who loves, raves.

Lord Byron

Educating a son I should allow him no fairy tales and only a very few novels. This is to prevent him from having 1. the sense of romantic solitude (if he is worth anything he will develop a proper and useful solitude) which identification with the hero gives. 2. cant ideas of right and wrong, absurd systems of honor and morality which never will he be able completely to get rid of, 3. the attainment of ideals, of a priori desires, of a priori emotions. He should amuse himself with fact only: he will then not learn that if the weak younger son do or do not the magical honorable thing he will win the princess with hair like flax.

Lionel Trilling

Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short.

Adam Hochschild

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base.

General George Patton

According to an ancient Sardinian legend, the bodies of those who are born on Christmas Eve will never dissolve into dust but are preserved until the end of time.

Grazia Deledda

All men of action are dreamers.
