“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”
“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
“The Mole was bewitched, entranced, fascinated. By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small, by the side of a man who holds one spellbound by exciting stories; and when tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea.”
— Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows
