Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux
“Chaque âge a ses plaisirs, son esprit et ses mœurs.

Un jeune homme, toujours bouillant dans ses caprices,
Est prompt à recevoir l'impression des vices ;
Est vain dans ses discours, volage en ses désirs,
Rétif à la censure et fou dans les plaisirs.

L'âge viril, plus mûr, inspire un air plus sage,
Se pousse auprès des grands, s'intrigue, se ménage,
Contre les coups du sort songe à se maintenir,
Et loin dans le présent regarde l'avenir.

La vieillesse chagrine incessamment amasse ;
Garde, non pas pour soi, les trésors qu'elle entasse ;
Marche en tous ses desseins d'un pas lent et glacé ;
Toujours plaint le présent et vante le passé ;
Inhabile aux plaisirs, dont la jeunesse abuse,
Blâme en eux les douceurs que l'âge lui refuse.”
Nicolas Boileau

Criss Jami
“Yes, be different, but not for the vanities of being different.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

Leo Tolstoy
“Tout était si beau, joyeux et pur dans la maison ; mais dans son âme tout était laid, sale, horrible.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Devil

W. Somerset Maugham
“He was left a good deal to himself. He had been inclined to talkativeness, but gradually he became silent. He began to think of the difference between himself and others.”
W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage

“I recognize the power of silence in an extroverted world but there is a time for silence and a time to speak up about things that matter that continue to be left unsaid.”
Matthew Donnelly
