Simone de Beauvoir
“One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

Thornton Wilder
“We all know that something is eternal. And it ain’t houses and it ain’t names, and it ain’t earth, and it ain’t even the stars . . . everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for five thousand years and yet you’d be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There’s something way down deep that’s eternal about every human being.”
― Thornton Wilder, Our Town

George Bernard Shaw
“A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
― George Bernard Shaw

William Wordsworth
“The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.”
― William Wordsworth, Lyrical Ballads

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde
