The historian’s one task is to tell the thing as it happened  (Lucian Quotes) The wealth of the soul is the only true wealth  (Lucian Quotes) Death is a mercy, and I have enough mercy to go around  (Lucian Quotes) Everybody dies. Some just need a little help  (Lucian Quotes) There is no happiness without tears, no life without death. Beware! I am going to make you cry  (Lucian Quotes) Poverty persuades a man to do and suffer everything that he may escape from it  (Lucian Quotes) It is not lawful or proper for you to know everything  (Lucian Quotes) Dancing is as old as love  (Lucian Quotes) The lips are closed, for the dancer has plenty of other voices at his service  (Lucian Quotes) The historian should be fearless and incorruptible; a man of independence, loving frankness and truth; one who, as the poets says, calls a fig a fig and a spade a spade. He should yield to neither hatred nor affection, not should be unsparing and unpitying. He should be neither shy nor deprecating, but an impartial judge, giving each side all it deserves but no more.

He should never consider what this or that man will think, but should state the facts as they really occurred  (Lucian Quotes) Realize that true happiness lies within you  (Lucian Quotes) Be grateful. By slaying you now, I spare you an eternity of torment  (Lucian Quotes) I’ll be reading books until the next challenger arrives. That will calm my nerves, so that I may deal with all situations without panicking  (Lucian Quotes) A blockhead, bit by fleas, put out the light, and chuckling cried, now you can’t see to bite!  (Lucian Quotes) The industry needs transforming.

Who can in due measure spare as well as spend  (Lucian Quotes) The happy think a lifetime short, but to the unhappy one night can be an eternity  (Lucian Quotes) The world is fleeting; all things pass away; Or is it we that pass and they that stay?  (Lucian Quotes) Avarice is a cursed vice: offer a man enough gold, and he will part with his own small hoard of food, however great his hunger  (Lucian Quotes) Now that I know what I want, I don’t have to hold on to it quite so much  (Lucian Quotes) Lucian was beginning to get used to hearing her small observations at night. More than anything, he realized he liked her voice in the dark. It made him feel less lonely  (Lucian Quotes) Her face was fragile and mischievous, pale enough to absorb hues from the world around her - purple, green, pink - like a face painted by Lucian Freud  (Lucian Quotes) Wolves? I should have known. Of course you have wolves. Doesn't everybody?” She snapped her fingers. “The gun, Lucian. Hand it over. I've decided I have to shoot you after all. It's the only way to preserve my sanity  (Lucian Quotes)
