Deadly



For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936, Literature Nobel 1907 in 'The Female of the Species'


Em todas as espécies, a fêmea é mais mortífera do que o macho.
Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936, Nobel da Literatura 1907 in 'The Female of the Species'

The way


Our own distinction of right and wrong is founded too much upon the immediate convenience of the community, and does not inquire sufficiently deeply into the ultimate effect.
Arthur Conan Doyle 1859-1930, in 'The Stark Munro Letters'


A nossa noção de certo e errado é muito dependente da visão imediata da sociedade e não tem em conta a sua consequência a longo prazo.
Arthur Conan Doyle 1859-1930, in 'The Stark Munro Letters'
