Zdroj: 1840s, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave (1845), Ch. 5
Kontext: I look upon my departure from Colonel Lloyd's plantation as one of the most interesting events of my life. It is possible, and even quite probable, that but for the mere circumstance of being removed from that plantation to Baltimore, I should have to-day, instead of being here seated by my own table, in the enjoyment of freedom and the happiness of home, writing this Narrative, been confined in the galling chains of slavery. Going to live at Baltimore laid the foundation, and opened the gateway, to all my subsequent prosperity. I have ever regarded it as the first plain manifestation of that kind providence which has ever since attended me, and marked my life with so many favors. I regarded the selection of myself as being somewhat remarkable. There were a number of slave children that might have been sent from the plantation to Baltimore. There were those younger, those older, and those of the same age. I was chosen from among them all, and was the first, last, and only choice.
I may be deemed superstitions, and even egotistical, in regarding this event as a special interposition of divine Providence in my favor. But I should be false to the earliest sentiments of my soul, if I suppressed the opinion. I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and incur my own abhorrence. From my earliest recollection, I date the entertainment of a deep conviction that slavery would not always be able to hold me within its foul embrace; and in the darkest hours of my career in slavery, this living word of faith and spirit of hope departed not from me, but remained like ministering angels to cheer me through the gloom. This good spirit was from God, and to him I offer thanksgiving and praise.

“I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.”
Nepotřebuji přítele, který se změní, když se změním a který přikývne, když kývnu; můj stín to dělá mnohem lépe.

“If you trust in yourself… and believe in your dreams… and follow your star… you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
Pokud důvěřuješ sám sobě a věříš svým snům a následuješ svou hvězdu, budeš stále poražen lidmi, kteří trávili čas tvrdou prací a učením se a nebyli tak líní.

Terry Pratchett kniha Svobodnej národ

“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”
Hněv je jako kyselina, která může více poškodit nádobu, ve které je uskladněna, než cokoli, na co se vylije.

“Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
Ne vše, čemu čelíme, lze změnit. Ale nic se nedá změnit, dokud se s tím nesetkáte.

Kontext: Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced. … Most of us are about as eager to change as we were to be born, and go through our changes in a similar state of shock.

“A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions — as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.”
Myslitel vidí své vlastní činy jako experimenty a otázky jako pokusy něco zjistit. Úspěch a neúspěch jsou pro něj především odpověďmi.

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
Cílem umění není reprezentovat vnější vzhled věcí, ale jejich vnitřní význam.

Aristotle (-384–-321 BC) Classical Greek philosopher, student of Plato and founder of Western philosophy

II: Aristotle and Greek Science; part VI: Psychology and the Nature of Art: "Artistic creation, says Aristotle, springs from the formative impulse and the craving for emotional expression. Essentially the form of art is an imitation of reality; it holds the mirror up to nature. There is in man a pleasure in imitation, apparently missing in lower animals. Yet the aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance; for this, and not the external mannerism and detail, is their reality.
