This book brings together the most diverse figures—the classic aphorists, like La Rochefoucauld; the philosophers, from the Greeks to Samuel Johnson to Virginia Woolf—as well as statesmen, scientists, boulevardiers, Olympians, and gadflies. John Gross draws on their wisdom and wit to produce an anthology that will be referred to time and time again. It includes sections on desires and longings, self-doubt, fame and reputations, happiness and sorrow.
