We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

English playwright William Shakespeare
(1564‒1616)

Other languages may be richer; they are also said to be mellower and more suitable for everyday use – whereas the Slovenian word is a word of celebration, singing, and rejoicing.

Slovenian writer Ivan Cankar
(1876‒1918)

Now is a fitting time to show thy skill. The mark is worthy, and the prize is great.

German poet and playwright Friedrich Schiller
(1759‒1805)

I’m Hungarian. I am Slovene. I am Serbian. You do not need literature for sentences like that. A bureaucrat will do, and a rubber stamp. A border guard. An Army.

Hungarian writer Péter Esterházy
(1950‒2016)

Brez prevoda bi bil omejen z mejami svoje dežele. Prevajalec je moj najpomembnejši zaveznik. Predstavi me svetu.

Italian writer Italo Calvino
(1923‒1985)

All persons who are enthusiastic that they should transcend the other animals ought to strive with the utmost effort not to pass through a life of silence, like cattle.

Roman historian Gaius Sallustius Crispus
(86‒35 BC)

That the shape of the Earth is round in the form of a perfect circle, we learn first from its name, as mortals unanimously call it ‘orbis’ (circle), and then from the actual reasons.

Roman polymath Pliny the Elder
(23‒79 AD)

The structure of a theoretical system tells us what alternatives are open in the possible answers to a given question. If observed facts of undoubted accuracy will not fit any of the alternatives it leaves open, the system itself is in need of reconstruction.

American sociologist Talcott Parsons
(1902‒1979)

Love, work, and knowledge are the wellsprings of our lives, they should also govern it.

Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich
(1897‒1957)

Very early in the morning is much too late to do what should have been done the previous evening.

Swiss educator Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi
(1746‒1827)

War is father of all, and king of all. He renders some gods, others men.

Greek philosopher Herclitus of Ephesus
(c. 520 ‒ c. 460 BC)

These rough sketches, which are born in an instant in the heat of inspiration, express the idea of their author in a few strokes, while on the other hand too much effort and diligence sometimes saps the vitality and powers of those who never know when to leave off.

Italian artist and biographer Giorgio Vasari
(1511‒1574)
