Dar dacă am lăsat ca judecata voastră proprie să vă îndrumeze pe cărarea științei, în schimb, am vegheat foarte de aproape asupra moralității voastre. M-am străduit să potolesc în voi pornirile de mânie; iar mânia de lungă durată care îndeamnă la răzbunare am supus-o judecății rațiunii voastre. Sufletului vostru îi este groază de răzbunare!...

"— Punîndu-mă și pe mine la socoteală, au dormit la noi patru inși în două camere care dau una într-alta: eu, generalul, Keller și domnul Ferdișcenko. Așadar, e unul dintre noi patru!
— Adică din trei; dar cine să fie?
— M-am inclus și pe mine pentru nepărtinire și ordine; dar fiți de acord, prințe, că nu puteam să-mi fur singur banii, deși s-au mai văzut asemenea cazuri pe lume..."

"problema noastră este dacă nu cumva „izvoarele vieții“ vor fi slăbit odată cu amplificarea...
Cică se grăbesc, tună, bat, zoresc pentru fericirea omenirii! „Prea mult zgomot și prea multă industrie se adună în sînul omenirii, puțină e liniștea spirituală“, se plînge un gînditor plecat dintre noi. „Fie, dar scrîșnetul căruțelor care aduc pîine omenirii flămînde este, poate, mai benefic decît liniștea spirituală“..."

"...nu-i ușor să clădim raiul pe pămînt; văd că totuși dumneavoastră sperați să realizați acest rai; prințe, raiul e un lucru greu, mult mai greu decît i se pare minunatei dumneavoastre inimi. Mai bine să punem capăt discuției, altfel o să ajungem iarăși să ne simțim penibil cu toții și atunci..."

Augustus: From Revolutionary to Emperor

Sabin
Sabin is on page 236 of 607 of Augustus: From Revolutionary to Emperor
The presiding consul now became formally Imperator Caesar Augustus divi filius. No Roman had ever had such a name, and it is easy for familiarity to make us forget just how novel it was. Augustus carried heavy religious overtones of the very Roman tradition of seeking divine guidance and approval through augury. Ennius, Rome’s earliest and most revered poet, spoke of the City being founded with ‘august augury’...

"As yet he was only a little more significant than the fake Marius executed earlier in the year – only his wealth and unambiguous link with the dictator made him different – and might be almost as easily eliminated. Antony planned to summon the Senate and have the boy declared a public enemy.¹⁵
Then something happened that changed everything, and suddenly made the young Caesar of immediate importance."

For Ramona it evidently surrounded him with glamour. And provided that he remain macho she would listen with glistening eyes, with more sympathy, and more, and more. She transformed his miseries into sexual excitements and, to give credit where it was due, turned his grief in a useful direction.

Herzog, tragically sipping milk in Philadelphia, a frail hopeful lunatic, tipping the carton to quiet his stomach and drown his unquiet mind, courting sleep. He was thinking of Marco, Daisy, Sono Oguki, Madeleine, the Pontritters, and now and then of the difference between ancient and modern tragedy, according to Hegel, the inner experience of the heart and the deepening of individual character in the modern age.

You got trouble, I can see that. Jumping out of your skin. You got a soul-haven't you, Moses." He shook his head, smoking his cigarette with two stained fingers pressed to his mouth, his voice rumbling. "Can't dump the sonofabitch, can we? Terrible handicap, a soul."
Moses answered in a low voice. "I'm not even sure I've got the thing still."

Progressing through this book in small chunks, but each reading episode feels highly relaxing and engaging. High quality unpredictable prose.
