    Niccolò Machiavelli
    “The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.”
    Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

    Emily Dickinson
    “Wild Nights—Wild Nights!
    Were I with thee
    Wild Nights should be
    Our luxury!

    Futile—the winds—
    To a heart in port—
    Done with the compass—
    Done with the chart!

    Rowing in Eden—
    Ah, the sea!
    Might I but moor— Tonight—
    In thee!”
    Emily Dickinson, Selected Poems

    Evelyn Waugh
    “But I was in search of love in those days, and I went full of curiosity and the faint, unrecognized apprehension that here, at last, I should find that low door in the wall, which others, I knew, had found before me, which opened on an enclosed and enchanted garden, which was somewhere, not overlooked by any window, in the heart of that grey city.”
    Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited
