Jorge Luis Borges
“En un alba sin pájaros el mago vio cernirse contra los muros el incendio concéntrico. Por un instante, pensó refugiarse en las aguas, pero luego comprendió que la muerte venía a coronar su vejez, y a absolverlo de sus trabajos. Caminó contra los jirones de fuego. Estos no mordieron su carne, éstos lo acariciaron y lo inundaron sin calor y sin combustión. Con alivio, con humillación, con terror, comprendió que él también era una apariencia, que otro estaba soñándolo.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones

Xenophon
“When, lithe of limb, she danced the Pyrrhic, loud clapping followed; and the Paphlagonians asked, "If these women fought by their side in battle?" to which they answered, "To be sure, it was the women who routed the great King, and drove him out of camp." So ended the night.”
Xenophon, The Persian Expedition

Henryk Sienkiewicz
“-¡Qué sociedad!
-A tal sociedad, tal César.[...]”
Henryk Sienkiewicz, Quo Vadis

Henryk Sienkiewicz
“Why does crime, even when as powerful as Cæsar, and assured of being beyond punishment, strive always for the appearances of truth, justice, and virtue? Why does it take the trouble?”
Henryk Sienkiewicz, Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero

Xenophon
“Separated from Hellas by more than a thousand miles, they had not even a guide to point the way.”
Xenophon, Anabasis
