“The true disciple of philosophy is likely to be misunderstood by other men; they do not perceive that he is ever pursuing death and dying; and if this is true, why, having had the desire of death all his life long, should he repine at that which he has always been pursuing and desiring?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“For a long time I was timid in the presence in learning, and I fancied that the insufficiency of the answers which I received was not its fault, but was owing to my own gross ignorance, but this thing was not a joke or a pastime with me, but the business of my life, and I was at last forced, willy-nilly, to the conclusion that these questions of mine were the only legitimate questions underlying all knowledge, and that it was not I that was in fault in putting them, but science in pretending to have an answer for them.”
A Confession • Leo Tolstoy“The most comprehensive formulation of therapeutic goals is the striving for wholeheartedness: to be without pretense, to be emotionally sincere, to be able to put the whole of oneself into one's feelings, one's work, one's beliefs.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“There are only two styles of portrait painting: the serious and the smirk.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen
