""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"

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

Julian Barnes
“I feel sorry for novelists when they have to mention women's eyes: there's so little choice, and whatever colouring is decided upon inevitably carries banal implications. Her eyes are blue: innocence and honesty. Her eyes are black: passion and depth. Her eyes are green: wildness and jealousy. Her eyes are violet: the novel is by Raymond Chandler.”
Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot

Jorge Luis Borges
“Hace diez años bastaba cualquier simetría con apariencia de orden-el materialismo dialéctico, el antisemitismo, el nazismo- para embelesar a las hombres. ¿Cómo no someterse a Tlön, a la minuciosa y vasta evidencia de un planeta ordenado? Inútil responder que la realidad también está ordenada. QUizá lo esté, pero de acuerod a leyes divinas-traduzco: a leyes inhumanas- que no acabamos nunca de percibir. Tlön será un laberinto, pero es un laberinto urdido por hombres, un laberinto destinado a que lo descifren los hombres.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones

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

Xenophon
“Thálatta! Thálatta!”
Xenophon, The Persian Expedition
