“Yet again, isn’t there something terrible in randomness—the idea that at the very bottom of its calculations, real depravity has no master plan of any kind, it’s just a dreamy whim that slides out of people when they are trapped or bored or too lazy to analyze their own mania.”
Quote by -Aeschylus

Quote by -Aeschylus
“Bethink thee of the adage, 'Call none blest, till peaceful death have crowned a life of weal.”

Quote by -Aeschylus
“This is a sickness rooted and inherent in the nature of a tyranny: that he that holds it does not trust his friends.”
Quote by -Aeschylus
“I shall select judges of manslaughter, and swear them in, establish a court into all time to come. 485 Litigants, call your witnesses, have ready your proofs as evidence under bond to keep this case secure. I will pick the finest of my citizens, and come back. They shall swear to make no judgment that is not just, and make clear where in this action the truth lies.”
Quote by -Aeschylus
“It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Quote by -Barack Obama
“Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.”
Quote by -Barack Obama
“You might be locked in a world not of your own making, her eyes said, but you still have a claim on how it is shaped. You still have responsibilities.”
Quote by -Barack Obama
"Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language."

Quote by -Henry James
"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Quote by -Henry James
"Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind."
Quote by -Henry James
"The only reason for the existence of a novel is that it does attempt to represent life."
Quote by -Henry James
"A man who pretends to understand women is bad manners. For him to really to understand them is bad morals."
Quote by -Henry James
"The only obligation to which in advance we may hold a novel, without incurring the accusation of being arbitrary, is that it be interesting."
Quote by -Henry James
"One might enumerate the items of high civilization, as it exists in other countries, which are absent from the texture of American life, until it should become a wonder to know what was left."
