Ippolito Nievo
“Women, our superiors! Yes, my brothers: accept this strange judgement from the mouth of one who has known many of them. They”
Ippolito Nievo, Confessions of an Italian

Marcel Proust
“Those who have minds have no regard for birth.”
Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time [volumes 1 to 7]

Ippolito Nievo
“The fact is, my dear friend, love of the truth is higher and purer than any other. The truth, however poor and naked it may be, is more lovable and more holy than any sumptuous, dressed-up falsehood. And thus every time I’m able remove some flounce or frill from you, my heart leaps in my breast and a triumphal crown girds my head. Blessed be that philosophy that teaches us that though we be mortal, weak and unhappy, we can be great in equality, liberty and love!”
Ippolito Nievo, Le confessioni d'un Italiano

Stephen Batchelor
“I greatly enjoyed these studies. Geshe Rabten communicated the ideas clearly and succinctly, then had us divide into pairs to pick apart in debate the details of what he had just taught.

Stephen Batchelor, Confession of a Buddhist Atheist

Alex Beam
“In front of the reviewing stand, she presented Joseph with a twenty-six-star, handcrafted silk American flag, sewn for the occasion by the ladies of Nauvoo. Then the officers, the honored guests, and the twenty members of the Legion marching band assembled for the procession to the temple site. Joseph had assigned special places on the reviewing stand to the Sauk Indian chief Keokuk and his entourage, who had crossed over from Iowa to partake in the festivities.”
Alex Beam, American Crucifixion: The Murder of Joseph Smith and the Fate of the Mormon Church
