Beria

No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

La pensée est le labeur de l’intelligence, la rêverie en est la volupté.

There is in fact a heroism of virtue in the pride of this woman, who resists every seduction, the impulses of his own passion as well as the rapture of the senses

Der Irrtum ist viel leichter zu erkennen, als die Wahrheit zu finden; jener liegt auf der Oberfläche, damit läßt sich wohl fertig werden; diese ruht in der Tiefe, danach zu forschen ist nicht jedermanns Sache.
