“You needn't listen to me; listen to the Logos [within]. When you do, you will agree that all things are One.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“We must scrunch or be scrunched.”
Our Mutual Friend • Charles Dickens“Cathy's lies were never innocent. Their purpose was to escape punishment, or work, or responsibility, and they were used for profit. Most liars are tripped up either because they forget what they have told or because the lie is suddenly faced with an incontrovertible truth. But Cathy did not forget her lies, and she developed the most effective method of lying. She stayed close enough to the truth so that one could never be sure. She knew two other methods also -- either to interlard her lies with truth or to tell a truth as though it were a lie. If one is accused of a lie and it turns out to be the truth, there is a backlog that will last a long time and protect a number of untruths.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?”
Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw“Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things.”
The Enchiridion • Epictetus
