That is why it is full of disquieting dreams. Enenkhet. Well, now, I should have thought they would have helped to pass the time. — Louis N.

  Having now come to the end of our brief and very incomplete review of the problems of philosophy, it will be well to consider, in conclusion, what is the value of philosophy and why it ought to be studied. — Bertrand Russell https://palimpseste.vercel.app/#text/9be27b11-7375-48a8-bdf3-056bcaf5e1de #philosophy #bookstodon #books #literature

  Un homme riche et de condition élevée était malade sur son lit, près de mourir. Ses parents et ses amis lui disaient: — Faites appeler un prêtre. — Non, je ne veux pas de prêtres autour de moi, leur répondait-il. Cependant son état empirait; il baissait chaque jour, et on introduisit un prêtre dans sa chambre. Quand il l’aperçut, il devint… — François-Marie Luzel https://palimpseste.vercel.app/#text/bde38640-07cc-4136-834c-86c1fbf4c2dc #lit #bookstodon #mastolivre #litterature

  ONE of the conclusions to which the evidence that has been brought forward leads us is that the Old English or Anglo-Saxon race was formed on English soil out of many tribal elements, and that the settlers who came here were known among themselves by tribal names, many of which still survive in those of some of the oldest settlements, where they lived under… — Thomas William Shore https://palimpseste.vercel.app/#text/9d293182-168d-4bff-b6f3-4a01bcd46a62 #lit #bookstodon #books #literature

  «Les ténèbres souterraines étaient trop profondes, et quand j’y eus séjourné quelque temps, s’éveillèrent en moi et luttèrent deux sentiments: la peur et la curiosité – la peur d’explorer la sombre caverne et la curiosité de savoir si elle ne recélait pas un mystère merveilleux.» LEONARD DE VINCI — Dimitri Merejkovski https://palimpseste.vercel.app/#text/9b32b24f-7221-4d87-bf03-8933df5c2986 #gothic #bookstodon #mastolivre #litterature

She seized the pearl necklace, to which was attached the great locket, and jerked it with all her strength. The result was encouraging. Quox stopped snoring and his… — L.

  Feb. 1902 MY DEAR MRS. HANSBROUGH, I am eternally indebted to you for what you did for me in the past, and infinitely more now for what you are doing for Turiyananda. A gloom came over the Math when news reached Calcutta of his severe illness. Now, I hope, he has recovered completely, and I will be so glad to get the news from you.

  Rome, 8 décembre 1850. Cher Paillottet, suis-je mieux? Je ne puis le dire; je me sens toujours plus faible. Mes amis croient que les forces me reviennent. Qui a raison?
