Charles Baudelaire
“Looking from outside into an open window one never sees as much as when one looks through a closed window. There is nothing more profound, more mysterious, more pregnant, more insidious, more dazzling than a window lighted by a single candle. What one can see out in the sunlight is always less interesting than what goes on behind a windowpane. In that black or luminous square life lives, life dreams, life suffers.”
Charles Baudelaire

William Shakespeare
“It is an heretic that makes the fire,
Not she which burns in't.”
William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale

François de La Rochefoucauld
“If we had no faults we should not take so much pleasure in noting those of others.”
François de La Rochefoucauld, Maxims

Isaiah Berlin
“Understanding men or ideas or movements, or the outlooks of individuals or groups, is not reducible to a sociological classification into types of behaviour with predictions based on scientific experiment and carefully tabulated statistics of observations.”
Isaiah Berlin, Russian Thinkers

John  Williams
“One does not deceive oneself about the consequences of one's acts; one deceives oneself about the ease with which one can live with those consequences.”
John Williams, Augustus
