Marie Freifrau von Ebner-Eschenbach:
Born: Freiin Dubský
(Troubky-Zdislavice, Moravia, 13 September 1830 – Vienna, 12 March 1916).
Austrian writer, best known for her psychologically tinged novels and narratives.
There is only one proof of ability – action.
Happy slaves are the bitterest enemies of freedom.
In every exalted joy, there mingles a sense of gratitude.
As far as your self-control goes, so far goes your freedom.
