Seneca
“Let me indicate here how men can prove that their words are their own: let them put their preaching into practice.”
Seneca , Letters from a Stoic

Gabriel Chevallier
“...a new force given to individual initiatives, a need to smash things up, to leap over fences, to break laws – all this, at the start, made the war acceptable. It was confused with freedom, and discipline was then accepted in the belief that it was lacking.”
Gabriel Chevallier, Fear

“Sentía que dentro del pecho le pataleaba la emoción, como un ser vivo más grande que el seno que lo contiene, y se desahogaba con risas frenéticas, o con repentinos y ardientes chorretazos de lágrimas. Ni era posible decir si aquello era en ambos felicidad o una pena lacerante, porque uno y otro se sentían como heridos por un aguijón que les llegaba al alma, y atormentados por el deseo de un más allá.”
Benito Perez Galdos,, Tristana

Benito Pérez Galdós
“Nuestro romanticismo, nuestra exaltación, no nos parecieron absurdos. Nos sorprendimos con hambre atrasada, el hambre espiritual, noble y pura que mueve el mundo, y por la cual existimos, y existirán miles de generaciones después de nosotros. Te reconocí mía y me declaraste tuyo. Esto es vivir; lo demás, ¿qué es?”
Benito Perez Galdos

“Но вспять безумцев не поворотить,
Они уже согласны заплатить.
Любой ценой — и жизнью бы рискнули,
Чтобы не дать порвать, чтоб сохранить
Волшебную невидимую нить,
Которую меж ними протянули…”
Visotsky
