“Which road, which road did you take
That brought you here at last?

No road, no road did I take.
I leaped, I leaped from dream to dream.

”
― Franz Werfel

“How fleeting, how brief, how fragile is the life of a man, and how subject to misfortune, assailed already by a multitude of diseases and accidents, buildings which collapse, shipwrecks, earthquakes, lightning! We do not need to add war to our woes, and yet it causes more woe than all the others.”
― Erasmus, The Education of a Christian Prince with the Panegyric for Archduke Philip of Austria

“Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville

“Spar Dödlige dina tårar, stäng plågan i ett tåligt bröst; förkväv det hopp din högmod dårar, vart når din matta klagoröst?

Ur "En stadig man", en etisk dikt av Kellgren.”
― Johan Henric Kellgren, Skrifter (Svenska klassiker)
