  • "If everyone fought for their own convictions in the world, then there would be no war." (Leon Tolstoi).
  • "Sometimes we can go years without living at all, and suddenly our whole life is concentrated in a single instant." (Oscar Wilde).
  • "To be or not to be, that is the question". (William Shakespeare, "Hamlet").
  • «Lord, sorrows were not made for beasts, but for men; but if men feel them too much, they become beasts ». (Miguel de Cervantes).
  • "Only those who try absurd things are capable of achieving impossible things." (Miguel de Unamuno).
  • "At birth, we cry because we entered this vast asylum." (William Shakespeare, "The Lear King").

  • «Man is said to be a rational animal. I do not know why it has not been defined as an emotional or feeling animal. Perhaps what differentiates it from other animals is feeling more than reason.
