""illustrious minds (like Me) were able to realize that the forces of nature are beyond their control, whilst base idiots (like my chambermaid, the dude i buy the milk from, every person currently existing in scotland and of course, Savages) still believed in magic"

Ferdinand de Saussure
“I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.”
Ferdinand de Saussure

Thucydides
“For the whole earth is the tomb of famous men; not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions in their own country, but in foreign lands there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men. Make them your examples, and, esteeming courage to be freedom and freedom to be happiness, do not weigh too nicely the perils of war."

[Funeral Oration of Pericles]”
Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War

Julian Barnes
“Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books. Books make sense of life. The only problem is that the lives they make sense of are other people's lives, never your own.”
Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

Jane Austen
“I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible.”
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

Ursula K. Le Guin
“No, I don't mean love, when I say patriotism. I mean fear. The fear of the other. And its expressions are political, not poetical: hate, rivalry, aggression.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
