1782·Geneva, Switzerland

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
Mary Wollstonecraft·1787You know I am not born to tread in the beaten track — the peculiar bent of my nature pushes me on.
Seneca·65 ADI have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know, they do not approve, and what they approve, I do not know.
Fyodor Dostoevsky·1864The whole work of man really seems to consist in nothing but proving to himself every minute that he is a man and not a piano-key!
