Accent is the soul of language; it gives to it both feeling and truth. - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Aș putea să spun că n-am început să simt că trăiesc decât atunci când mă privii ca un om mort.

I conceive two species of inequality among men; one which I call natural, or physical inequality, because it is established by nature, and consists in the difference of age, health, bodily strength, and the qualities of the mind, or of the soul; the other which may be termed moral, or political inequality, because it depends on a kind of convention, and is established, or at least authorized, by the common consent of mankind. This species of inequality consists in the different privileges, which some men enjoy, to the prejudice of others, such as that of being richer, more honoured, more powerful, and even that of exacting obedience from them.

Pero la indolencia, el descuido y las dilaciones en los pequeños deberes que tenía que llenar, me han hecho más daño que los grandes vicios.
