“Pablo Casals is a very great artist. What I admire is the firm stand he has taken not only against the oppressors of his countrymen, but also against those opportunists who are always ready to compromise with the Devil. He perceives clearly that the world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.” WorldArtistEvilTakenGreaterReadyMastersDevilCommitAdmireCompromisePerceiveFirmTolerateGreat ArtPerilGreat ArtistOppressorsCountrymenOpportunist Author:Albert Einstein
“No matter how successful, beloved, influential her work was, when a woman author dies, nine times out of ten, she gets dropped from the lists, the courses, the anthologies, while the men get kept. ... If she had the nerve to have children, her chances of getting dropped are higher still. ... So if you want your writing to be taken seriously, don't marry and have kids, and above all, don't die. But if you have to die, commit suicide. They approve of that.” IfsMenWantWritingChildrenStillsMatterKidsDiesCoursesChanceSuccessfulTakenHe ManHigherTenSuicideListsNineCommitBelovedNervesInfluentialAnthology Author:Ursula K. Le Guin

“Thou shalt not, it is said, make unto thee any graven image of God. The same commandment should apply when God is taken to mean the living part of every human being, the part that cannot be grasped. It is a sin that, however much it is committed against us, we almost continually commit ourselves--Except when we love.” LoveShouldHumansMeanSaidGodHuman BeingsSinTakenCommittedCommitTheeGod LoveCommandmentsGod Image Book:Max Frisch: Novels, Plays and Essays Source: Max Frisch: Novels, Plays and Essays
