Marguerite Yourcenar
“I was only the more anxious to make Jerusalem a city like the others, where several races and several beliefs could live in peace; but I was wrong to forget that in any combat between fanaticism and common sense the latter has rarely the upper hand.”
Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

Marguerite Yourcenar
“I knew that good like bad becomes a routine, that the temporary tends to endure, that what is external permeates to the inside, and that the mask, given time, comes to be the face itself.”
Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

“We all go through a challenge in life because without a challenge there’d be no reason to keep going toward your future.”
Mark Twain and M J Elliott, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Primo Levi
“Like Rumkowski, we too are so dazzled by power and prestige as to forget our essential fragility. Willingly or not we come to terms with power, forgetting that we are all in the ghetto, that the ghetto is walled in, that outside the ghetto reign the lords of death, and that close by the train is waiting.”
Primo Levi, Moments of Reprieve

William Shakespeare
“There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.”
William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
