― Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays

“Sinuhe, my friend, we have been born into strange times. Everything is melting – changing its shape – like clay on a potter’s wheel. Dress is changing, words, customs are changing, and people no longer believe in the gods – though they may fear them. Sinuhe, my friend, perhaps we were born to see the sunset of the world, for the world is already old, and twelve hundred years have passed since the building of the pyramids. When I think of this, I want to bury my head in my hands and cry like a child.”
― Mika Waltari, سینوهه

“To be a saint is the exception; to be a just person is the rule. Err, stumble, commit sin, but be one of the just.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
