The ancient Romans built their greatest masterpieces of architecture, their amphitheaters, for wild beasts to fight in.
From Voltaire
It is the flash which appears, the thunderbolt will follow.
What then do you call your soul? What idea have you of it? You cannot of yourselves, without revelation, admit the existence within you of anything but a power unknown to you of feeling and thinking.
We have a natural right to make use of our pens as of our tongue, at our peril, risk and hazard.
Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.
He is a hard man who is only just, and a sad one who is only wise.
We cannot wish for that we know not.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become too famous.
I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms.
History should be written as philosophy.
