Alice Childress
“Life is just a short walk from the cradle to the grave, and it sure behooves us to be kind to one another along the way.”
Alice Childress

Vladimir Nabokov
“We are confronted by an interesting phenomenon: a literary hero losing gradually contact with the book that bore him; leaving his fatherland, leaving his creator’s desk and roaming space after roaming Spain. In result, Don Quixote is greater today than he was in Cervantes’s womb. He has ridden for three hundred and fifty years through the jungles and tundras of human thought—and he has gained in vitality and stature. We do not laugh at him any longer. His blazon is pity, his banner is beauty. He stands for everything that is gentle, forlorn, pure, unselfish, and gallant. The parody has become a paragon.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Don Quixote

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
“He who hasn't tasted bitter things hasn't earned sweet things.”
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Discourse on Metaphysics and Other Essays

Herodotus
“After all, no one is stupid enough to prefer war to peace; in peace sons bury their fathers and in war fathers bury their sons.”
Herodotus
tags: peace, war

Periyar
“யார் சொல்லியிருந்தாலும் எங்கு படித்திருந்தாலும் நானே சொன்னாலும் உனது புத்திக்கும் பொது அறிவுக்கும் பொருந்தாத எதையும் நம்பாதே”
பெரியார் ஈ.வெ.ரா.
