Featured Book
The Prince outlines Machiavelli's views on the importance of stability in a political state and the means with which a ruler can and should maintain such stability. It's a treatise on power - how to get it and how to keep it. As such, it has greatly influenced subsequent Western political thought, giving us the pejorative term "Machiavellian" to describe actions designed to garner power at whatever expense.

On Literature
When I get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
- Desiderius Erasmus
From the Books
"How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June. . . . If it was only the other way! If it was I who were to be always young, and the picture that were to grow old! For this--for this--I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give!"
- From The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
