Mark Twain
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
Mark Twain

Elizabeth von Arnim
“It cannot be right to be the slave of one's household gods, and I protest that if my furniture ever annoyed me by wanting to be dusted when I wanted to be doing something else, and there was no one to do the dusting for me, I would cast it all into the nearest bonfire and sit and warm my toes at the flames with great contentment, triumphantly selling my dusters to the very next pedlar who was weak enough to buy them. Parsons”
Elizabeth von Arnim, Elizabeth and Her German Garden

Sophocles
“Time, which sees all things, has found you out.”
Sophocles, Oedipus Rex

Vasily Grossman
“Human groupings have one main purpose: to assert everyone’s right to be different, to be special, to think, feel and live in his or her own way. People join together in order to win or defend this right. But this is where a terrible, fateful error is born: the belief that these groupings in the name of a race, a God, a party or a State are the very purpose of life and not simply a means to an end. No! The only true and lasting meaning of the struggle for life lies in the individual, in his modest peculiarities and in his right to these peculiarities.”
Vasily Grossman, Life and Fate
