“In King’s Landing, there are two sorts of people. The players and the pieces… Every man’s a piece to start with, and every maid as well. Even some who think they are players."
Petyr Baelish”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Frank McCourt

Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes

Αλέξανδρος Παπαδιαμάντης
“Τι εζήτει η Βενετία πέμτουσα τους στόλους τούτους εις το Αιγαίον. Ότι ζητεί ο σφαγεύς παρά του θύματος, τας σάρκας αυτού ίνα κορέση την πείνα του. Διατί αι ιδιωτικαί αυταί και κεκυρωμέναι με τα σήματα του Αγίου Μάρκου επιχειρήσεις; Διατί οι τοσούτοι εργολάβοι των κατακτήσεων, των ως διαδημοπρασίας εκτελουμένων; Η Βενετία προσηγόρευευν ευατήν πολιτείαν, και είχες υιούς τυράννους. Τοις έδιδε το χρίσμα της και τους έπεμπεν ινα κατακυριεύσωσι της γης. Η γενεαλογία της πολιτικής είναι συνεχής και γνήσια κατά τους προγόνους. Η αργία εγέννησε την πενίαν. Η πενία έτεκε την πείναν. Η πείνα παρήγαγε την όρεξιν. Η όρεξις εγέννησε την αυθαιρεσίαν. Η αυθαιρεσία εγέννησε την ληστείαν. Η ληστεία εγέννησε την πολιτικήν. Ιδού η αυθεντική καταγωγή ου τέρατος τούτου. Τότε και τώρα, πάντοτε η αυτή. Τότε δια της βίας, τώρα δια του δόλου ... και δια της βίας. Πάντοτε αμετάβλητοι οι σχοινοβάται ούτοι, οι Αθίγγανοι, οι γελωτοποιοί ούτοι πίθηκοι (καλώ δε ούτω τους λεγόμενους πολιτικούς). Μαύροι χαλκείς κατασκευάζοντες δεσμά δια τους λαούς την βαθυζόφω σκοτία του αιωνίου εργαστηρίου των ...”
Αλέξανδρος Παπαδιαμάντης, Οι έμποροι των εθνών

Richelle Mead
“I tried desperately to put my thoughts into the forms of prayers, but I didn't know how. If God was real, I figured He was powerful enough to know what I wanted without me actually saying the right words.”
Richelle Mead, Shadow Kiss

George Sand
“One is happy once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness: simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self denial to a point, love of work, and above all, a clear conscience.”
George Sand, Correspondance, 1812-1876; Volume 5
