Victor Hugo
“It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Samuel Johnson
“If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary be not idle.”
Samuel Johnson , The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D. Vol 3

Nicholas A. Basbanes
“Aeschines knew that if he had any hopes of humbling his charismatic rival, he had to reinforce his views with facts, not heated speculation. Addressing a legal assembly of citizens known as graphe paranomon, he built his attack around this tart observation: "A fine thing, my fellow Athenians, a fine thing is the preservation of public records. Records do not change, and they do not shift sides with traitors, but they grant to you, the people, the opportunity to know, whenever you want, which men, once bad, through some transformation now claim to be good".”
Nicholas A. Basbanes, A Splendor of Letters: The Permanence of Books in an Impermanent World – The Remarkable Final Trilogy on Bibliophiles from the Leading Authority

Victor Hugo
“Man is not a circle with a single center; he is an ellipse with two focii. Facts are one, ideas are the other.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Samuel Johnson
“Men are generally idle, and ready to satisfy themselves, and intimidate the industry of others, by calling that impossible which is only difficult.”
Samuel Johnson
