“Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. It's smell and it's color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Naval Treaty - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story

“What is above all needed is to let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way about.”
― George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

“El baño de sangre coincidió con un período de euforia económica para la clase dominante: ¿es lícito confundir la prosperidad de una clase con el bienestar de un país?”
― Eduardo Galeano, Las venas abiertas de América Latina

“Si el honor y la sabiduría y la felicidad no son para mí, que sean para otros. Que el cielo exista, aunque mi lugar sea el infierno”
― Jorge Luis Borges , Ficciones
