“The New Testament is remarkable for its pure morality; the best of the Hindoo Scripture, for its pure intellectuality. The reader is nowhere raised into and sustained in a higher, purer, or rarer region of thought than in the Bhagvat-Geeta.... It is unquestionably one of the noblest and most sacred scriptures which have come down to us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Where neither love nor hatred plays a part, a woman plays indifferently.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Well, well, Henry James is pretty good, though he is of the nineteenth century, and that glaringly.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.”
—James Shirley (1596–1666)
