“every plan breaks easily,
Because the intention is a slave to memory
At the moment of birth, it digs itself a grave,
Like a fruit, that holds to a branch, while green.
And when it matures, it falls itself from the three.”
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

“…often women aren’t allowed to be characters in history, they have to be stereotypes. Cleopatra was a poet and a philosopher, she was incredibly good at maths; she wasn’t that much of a looker. But when we think of her, we think: big breasted seductress bathing in milk. Often, even when women have made their mark and they are remembered by history, we are offered a fantasy version of their lives.”
― Bettany Hughes

“The great advantage about telling the truth is that nobody ever believes it.”
― Dorothy L. Sayers

“A man must learn to recognize values.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
