T.E. Lawrence
“Here were the Arabs believing me, Allenby and Clayton trusting me, my bodyguard dying for me: and I began to wonder if all established reputations were founded, like mine, on fraud.”
T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Thomas Mann
“IN HIS HOURS OF GLOOM—and they were frequent—Thomas Buddenbrook would ask himself what sort of man he really was and what could still justify his seeing himself as something better than any of his simplehearted, plodding, and small-minded fellow citizens.

T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Henri-Frédéric Amiel
“Life is short. We don't have much time to gladden the hearts of those who walk this way with us. So, be swift to love and make haste to be kind.”
Henri-Frédéric Amiel
