“People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that’s a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that’s all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.”
—Fyodor Dostoevsky (via rhiannonds) (via misterpeace) (via thanksforstanding)
“Be a lamp unto your self. Be your own confidence. Hold to the truth within yourself as to the only Truth.”
—Buddha (via oceanofmind)
“I do not hold with those that say that power corrupts men. Rather its the other way around; men without morality corrupt power.”
—Arthur Burns (via quote-book)
