"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." 4 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

Harold Bloom
“Our educational institutions are thronged these days by idealistic resenters who denounce competition in literature as in life, but the aesthetic and the agonistic are one, according to all the ancient Greeks, and to Burckhardt and Nietzsche, who recovered this truth.”
Harold Bloom, The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages

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

Johan Henric Kellgren
“Spar Dödlige dina tårar, stäng plågan i ett tåligt bröst; förkväv det hopp din högmod dårar, vart når din matta klagoröst?

Ur "En stadig man", en etisk dikt av Kellgren.”
Johan Henric Kellgren, Skrifter (Svenska klassiker)

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
