Petra Kelly

Thomas Flajnik - antichimerapodal
“I think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to "rejoice" as much as by anything else”
C.S. Lewis
“A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.”
Ernest Hemingway
“Everything has two sides - the outside that is ridiculous, and the inside that is solemn”
Olive Schreiner
“Wherever magistrates were appointed from among those who complied with the injunctions of the laws, Socrates considered the government to be an aristocracy.”
Xenophon
“A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.”
Henry Fielding
