Ok... time for me to share something with y'all. I'm lucky to have been born in a country that has 2 officials languages. And I took it as an opportunity... to know 2 languages fluently (I guess). Which means I can get info from more sources and understand them in their original forms...

That's true for classic literature too. and also a more obscure literatures too. Here is one of my fav author..

François VI, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Prince de Marcillac (French: [f???swa d(?) la ???fuko]; 15 September 1613 – 17 March 1680) was a noted French author of maxims and memoirs. It is said[by whom?] that his world-view was clear-eyed and urbane, and that he neither condemned human conduct nor sentimentally celebrated it. Born in Paris on the Rue des Petits Champs, at a time when the royal court was vacillating between aiding the nobility and threatening it, he was considered an exemplar of the accomplished 17th-century nobleman. Until 1650, he bore the title of Prince de Marcillac.

The Maxims are probably my favorite place to pick up quotes on human nature.

You see. La Rochefoucault was living at the court of Louis the 14.. And observing the drama of the court and the schemes and back stabbing inspired him to write the maxims... So every short line describing a fact of human nature...when someone of the court was reading it....that person KNEW exactly from where/whom de la Rochefoucault was taking his inspiration from... (Gossip)

Example.....

If we had no faults, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others.

hmmmmm Yes it's prettier in french but this is nicely said...

Sooooo get a coffee .... And listen to a voice from the past who had no internet and who took actually the time to figure out human nature . (this is an english translation)
