"Never was it given to mortal man – To lie so boldly as we women can." "Fools admire, but men of sense approve." More In Nature "You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid."― Franz Kafka "The gifts of nature are infinite in their variety, and mind differs from mind almost as much as body from body."― Quintilian "In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob."― Salvador Dali
