Seneca's writing is readable, practical, and accessible, making these ancient insights feel surprisingly modern.

And So We Beat On

The final line of The Great Gatsby, the Fitzgerald novel that defined the jazz age. It was the era that ushered in modernity, a time of material excess, liberation, and intoxication. But even in the midst of the party, Fitzgerald could sense the toll such decadence takes on the human soul.

Like so many other Fitzgerald fans, we adore this quotation and its kaleidoscopic meanings. Gatsby, surrounded by unimaginable wealth, prestige and fanfare, dreams only of a future with Daisy that will recreate their past. And yet, his past is what prevents him from attaining that bright future.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Above All Don't Lie to Yourself

From The Brothers Karamazov. This passage is so awesome, we included the entire excerpt in our design to provide context for Dostoevsky's stunning insight into personal responsibility.  

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

My Candle Burns

"My candle burns at both ends;
it will not last the night;B
ut ah, my foes, and oh my friends-
It gives a lovely light!"

Millay's provocative short poem, First Fig, is an ode to those who live out loud. The twin flames of a candle merge into the billowing dress of an intrepid dreamer.
