Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“nothing in the universe can be the same if somewhere, we do not know where, a sheep that we never saw has — yes or no? — eaten a rose...

Look up at the sky. Ask yourselves: is it yes or no? Has the sheep eaten the flower? And you will see how everything changes...

And no grown-up will ever understand that this is a matter of so much importance!”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Victor Hugo
“Success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Roald Dahl
“So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install, a lovely bookshelf on the wall.”
Roald Dahl

“Now what else is the whole life of mortals, but a sort of comedy in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each ones part until the manager walks them off the stage?”
Desiderius Erasmus

Juan de la Cruz
“At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love" (CCC 1022; by St. John of the Cross)”
