Notable quotes

“La prima volta che vado a letto con un uomo succede quasi sempre che non si fa niente. Si preoccupano, si agitano, credono di dover fare i fenomeni. Pensano "Oddio, lo sto facendo con l'Arcuri", e non si conclude. Ormai lo so, sono rassegnata. Per questo concedo sempre una seconda chance.”
— The first time I go to bed with a man, most of the time nothing happens. They worry, they get agitated, they think they have to excel. They think, "Oh my God, I'm doing it with Arcuri", and then it's a total flop. Now that I know, I've resigned myself to the fact. This is why I always grant them a second chance.
“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
— Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) The Old Man and the Sea (1952), p. 113
“I have thought some of Nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably.”
— William Shakespeare, Hamlet (1600-02), Act III, scene 2, line 37
“The only competition worthy a wise man is with himself.”
— Anna Brownell Jameson, Memoirs and Essays, Washington Allston
“Der edle Mensch ist nur ein Bild von Gott.”
— The noble man is only God's image.
“Every man will be a poet if he can; otherwise a philosopher or man of science. This proves the superiority of the poet.”
— Henry David Thoreau, journal entry, April 11, 1852. The Heart of Thoreau's Journals, ed. Odell Shepard, p. 126 (1927)
