“Thanks to art, instead of seeing one world only, our own, we see that world multiply itself and we have at our disposal as many worlds as there are original artists, worlds more different one from the other than those which revolve in infinite space, worlds which, centuries after the extinction of the fire from which their light first emanated, whether it is called Rembrandt or Vermeer, send us still each one its special radiance.”
― Marcel Proust

“Very little is needed for everything to be upset and ruined, only a slight lapse in reason.”
― Epictetus

“Brevity is the soul of lingerie.”
― Dorothy Parker, While Rome Burns

“You only have to doze a moment, and all is lost. For ruin and salvation both have their source inside you.”
― Epictetus
