We wish to learn all the curious, outlandish ways of all the different countries, so that we can "show off" and astonish people when we get home. We wish to excite the envy of our untraveled friends with our strange foreign fashions which we can't shake off.

Дурманящий аромат огромных лилий быстро окутал каминный зал. Лилиан поставила букет в заранее приготовленную вазу и улыбнулась:
— Как всегда, мои любимые.
— Ты любишь розы. — Помпилио обнаружил поднос с вином и бокалами и занялся бутылкой.
— За обедом мы выяснили, что ты всё помнишь.
— Да… Но я люблю дарить тебе лилии. Это твои цветы.
— Это мое имя, — уточнила девушка.
— Это твои цветы, — твердо повторил Помпилио. — Красивые и гордые.
— У розы есть шипы.
— Оружие выставляют напоказ от неуверенности.

Nothing disciplines the inordinate desires of the flesh like service, and nothing transforms the desires of the flesh like serving in hiddenness. The flesh whines against service but screams against hidden service. It strains and pulls for honour and recognition. It will devise subtle, religiously acceptable means to call attention to the service rendered. If we stoutly refuse to give in to this lust of the flesh, we crucify it. Every time we crucify the flesh, we crucify our pride and arrogance.

I am proud. It will get me into trouble someday, but today it makes me brave
Veronica RothAfter all we'd been through, we still couldn't take our heads from out of our asses or our hands from around each other's throats.
Max BrooksThe queen who mended her stockings in prison must have looked every inch a queen and even more a queen than at sumptuous banquets and levees.
Fyodor DostoevskyThe moment men begin to care more for education than for religion they begin to care more for ambition than for education. It is no longer a world in which the souls of all are equal before heaven, but a world in which the mind of each is bent on achieving unequal advantage over the other. There begins to be a mere vanity in being educated whether it be self-educated or merely state-educated. Education ought to be a searchlight given to a man to explore everything, but very specially the things most distant from himself. Education tends to be a spotlight; which is centered entirely on himself. Some improvement may be made by turning equally vivid and perhaps vulgar spotlights upon a large number of other people as well. But the only final cure is to turn off the limelight and let him realize the stars.
G.K. ChestertonMots clés education knowledge religion vanity pride scientism
