“There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.”

“Only fools think that they alone
Are wise, and hear no other point of view.
À wise man is never ashamed to learn,
To listen, and bend when the time is right.
When a flood sweeps through a forest, the trees That bend survive, keep every leaf intact;
The ones that don't snap off and are swept away.
A wise man knows when to slacken sail;
À fool refuses and overturns his ship.”
― Antigone - Oedipus the King - Electra

“You can't skip chapters, that's not how life works. You have to read every line, meet every character. You won't enjoy all of it. Hell, some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don't want to read, you will have moments when you don't want the pages to end. But you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours, don't miss out.”

“A man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions.... He will always be attracted to the woman who reflects his deepest vision of himself, the woman whose surrender permits him to experience a sense of self-esteem. The man who is proudly certain of his own value, will want the highest type of woman he can find, the woman he admires, the strongest, the hardest to conquer--because only the possession of a heroine will give him the sense of an achievement.”
