""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"

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

Sophocles
“No yield to the dead! Never stab the fighter when he's down. Where's the glory, killing the dead twice over?”
Sophocles, Antigone

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

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
