—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“Whoever lives for the sake of combating an enemy has an interest in the enemy’s staying alive.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The life of a good man will hardly improve us more than the life of a freebooter, for the inevitable laws appear as plainly in the infringement as in the observance, and our lives are sustained by a nearly equal expense of virtue of some kind. The decaying tree, while yet it lives, demands sun, wind, and rain no less than the green one. It secretes sap and performs the functions of health. If we choose, we may study the alburnum only. The gnarled stump has as tender a bud as the sapling.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Some counterfeits reproduce so very well the truth that it would be a flaw of judgment not to be deceived by them.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Giving words [is] an act of lovers.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
