—Titus Livius (Livy)

“Sir Toby Belch. Pourquoi, my dear knight?
Sir Andrew Aguecheek. What is “pourquoi?” Do, or not do? I would I had bestowed that time in the tongues that I have in fencing, dancing, and bear-baiting. O had I but followed the arts!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it.... Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty—he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world—alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
