Quote by Arthur Buies

“Plus le malheureux sait, plus il s'aperçoit qu'il ne sait rien; plus il apprend, plus il s'aperçoit qu'il lui reste encore et toujours à apprendre. C'est l'infini, l'effroyable infini, qui se déroule devant lui au fur et à mesure qu'il y pénètre, et qui recule, recule de plus en plus à mesure que son regard embrasse davantage.”

“No fue el dolor, sino lo in­jus­to del asun­to, lo que aton­tó a Peter. Lo dejó im­po­ten­te. Sólo podía mirar, ho­rro­ri­za­do. Todos los niños reac­cio­nan así la pri­me­ra vez que los tra­tan con in­jus­ti­cia. A lo único que pien­san que tie­nen de­re­cho cuan­do se le acer­can a uno de buena fe es a un trato justo. Des­pués de que uno haya sido in­jus­to con ellos se­gui­rán que­rién­do­lo, pero nunca vol­ve­rán a ser los mis­mos.”

“When we feel that our default thinking is creeping up on us and starts stifling our minds, we must break the shell of our habits. If rehashed thoughts and bland humdrum are smothering the upshot of subdued cravings, we must create space for the budding of a new dawn. By unsealing all the windows of our mental dungeon, we loosen up our rusty thinking and cut ties with the useless prerogatives of the past. ("Corporeal prison")”

“Madame, he said, when Aunt Theodosia finished her story and flashed her famous medal around the room, do you realize King Leopold cut the hands off workers who, in the opinion of his plantation overseers did not fulfill their rubber quota? Rather than cherish that medal, Madame, you should regard it as a symbol of your unwitting complicity with this despot who worked to death and brutalized and eventually exterminated thousands and thousands of African peoples.”
