Alexander Pope
“Teach me to feel another’s woe,
To hide the fault I see;
That mercy I to others show,
That mercy show to me.

(from The Universal Prayer)”
Alexander Pope

Frederick Douglass
“I have found that, to make a contented slave,” writes Douglass “it is necessary to make a thoughtless one…He must be able to detect no inconsistencies in slavery; he must be made to feel that slavery is right; and he can be brought to that only when he ceases to be a man.”
Frederick Douglass

Roger Scruton
“Nobody who is alert to beauty, therefore, is without the concept of redemption—of a final transcendence of mortal disorder into a ‘kingdom of ends’. In an age of declining faith art bears enduring witness to the spiritual hunger and immortal longings of our species. Hence aesthetic education matters more today than at any previous period in history.”
Roger Scruton, Beauty: A Very Short Introduction

Leslie Marmon Silko
“I am overwhelmed sometimes and feel a great deal of wonder at words, just simple words and how deeply we can touch each other with them, though I know that most of the time language is the most abused of all human abilities or traits.”
Leslie Marmon Silko, The Delicacy and Strength of Lace

Henryk Sienkiewicz
“He who knew how to live should know how to die.”
Henryk Sienkiewicz, Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero – Henryk Sienkiewicz's Historical Epic
