—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

—Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)
“It is an evil world. The fires of hatred and violence burn fiercely. Evil is powerful, the devil covers a darkened earth with his black wings. And soon the end of the world is expected. But mankind does not repent, the church struggles, and the preachers and poets warn and lament in vain.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“I have always fought for ideas—until I learned that it isn’t ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.”
