"The name of the Sphragitic nymphs presents something of a mystery. Sphragidion, the name of the cave, derives from the word sphragis, “seal” or “signet ring.” The same word is used in enigmatic fashion by Theognis, who speaks of placing a “seal” upon his utterances lest they be stolen or altered." 8 hours, 37 min ago

Harold Bloom
“Aesthetic criticism returns us to the autonomy of imaginative literature and the sovereignty of the solitary soul, the reader not as a person in society but as the deep self, our ultimate inwardness.”
Harold Bloom, The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages

William Shakespeare
“O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams."

Which dreams, indeed, are ambition; for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.”
William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Teresa de Ávila
“Sidnummer 36, sida 40 (Hus 3)
All things obstruct us while prudence rules our actions; we are afraid of everything and therefore fear to make progress—as if we could reach the inner chambers while others make the journey for us! As this is impossible, sisters, for the love of God let us exert ourselves, and leave our reason and our fears in His hands, paying no attention to the weaknesses of nature which might retard us.”
Theresa of Avila

Thomas Aquinas
“We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it.”
St. Thomas Aquinas

Erasmus
“How fleeting, how brief, how fragile is the life of a man, and how subject to misfortune, assailed already by a multitude of diseases and accidents, buildings which collapse, shipwrecks, earthquakes, lightning! We do not need to add war to our woes, and yet it causes more woe than all the others.”
Erasmus, The Education of a Christian Prince with the Panegyric for Archduke Philip of Austria
