Ao redor da lareira, onde o calor do café fumegante e de bolos caseiros achonchega o estomago e a alma, depois de uma divertida caminhada em familia.

"Comrades, he said, I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Napoleon has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure! On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would only be too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be? Suppose you had decided to follow Snowball, with his moonshine of Windmills - Snowball, who, as we know, was no better than a criminal?
He fought bravely at the Battle of the Cowshed, said somebody.
Bravery is not enough, said Squealer. Loyalty and obedience are more important. And as to the Battle of the Cowshed, I believe the time will come when we shall find that Snowball's part in it was much exaggerated. Discipline, comrades, iron discipline! That is the watchword for today."
George Orwell, Animal Farm - 1945
"Saturno convidá-lo-á à reflexão. Fará um inventário dos pertences da sua alma e regozijar-se-á como uma criança com as pequenas, mas autênticas, riquezas aí encontradas. E terá a sensação de que, renovado, revigorado e liberto, irá entrar numa nova época da sua vida. Profissionalmente, andará menos obcecado; mesmo frente ao mar, não deixará de cozinhar novos e aliciantes projetos. Saúde: período de indolência inerente a uma salutar tranquilidade interior."
"A scientific hobby or interest sets you apart from the crowd, and causes you to circulate with an eclectic group of people. Money will be tight, and it may not be possible to take the classes or attend the outings you want. Still, you are content to stay home with your books and papers, doing the sorts of research that stimulates your intellect. Don't worry if your nearest and dearest think you're a little crazy for pursuing this line of interest."
