“Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice,
You can endure the livery of a nun,
For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
To live a barren sister all your life,
Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
Thrice blessed they that master so their blood
To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Good is a product of the ethical and spiritual artistry of individuals; it cannot be mass-produced.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“How learned he bitter songs of lost Iambe,
Or that a cup-shaped breast is nothing vile?”
