Quotes by August Šenoa (?)

“Ljudi su gori nego živine. Pas koga hraniš, čuva te, čovjek koga pomažeš ubija te.”

“Svijet obično ne sudi mladića po duševnih vrlinah, već po školskih svjedodžbah ili kašnje po većem ili manjem zvanju. Često klanjaju se ljudi plitkoj glavi jer je uvrštena u red javnog zvanja, često rugaju se umniku jer je "ništa", jer ne spada u koju od društvenih kasta. Osobito u malih okolnostih vidi se ovo pusto idolopoklonstvo. A takovo očito vrijeđanje umnih vrlina boli i čovjeka duhovita, ma se i ne povađao za ludilom svojega vijeka.”

“Gorčina života istjera me iz svijeta, gorčina života napunja mi dušu, al' ta gorčina pribavi meni, pustinjaku, i mira. Zemlja nam je veliko pozorište gdje ljudi žalosne i smiješne uloge predstavljaju, ja se omotah svojom savjesti kao kabanicom pa gledam vaše komedije i tragedije...”
― August Šenoa, Diogenes
