Aristotle
“Every word is either current, or strange, or metaphorical, or ornamental, or newly-coined, or lengthened, or contracted, or altered.”
Aristotle, Poetics

C.S. Lewis
“I should have told you. We are all a bent race.”
C. S. Lewis

George Orwell
“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.”
George Orwell

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

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
