It is a thing of no great difficulty to raise objections against another man's oration--nay, it is a very easy matter; but to produce a better in its place is a work extremely troublesome.

Plutarch, Of Hearing

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

Jawaharlal Nehru

The desire to die was my one and only concern to it I have sacrificed everything, even death.

Emile M. Cioran

Benjamin Franklin

Primo Levi
