“This was but a prelude;
where books are burnt
human-beings will be burnt
in the end”
― Heinrich Heine

“The individual we grow to be in the course of our lives is only one of the many we might have been but had to leave behind—lamentable casualties of our inner army.49”
― Pedro Blas González, Human Existence as Radical Reality: Ortega y Gasset's Philosophy of Subjectivity

“The man who is right is a majority. He who has God and conscience on his side, has a majority against the universe.”
― Frederick Douglass

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
