“Let a man be of good cheer about his soul, who has cast away the pleasures and ornaments of the body as alien to him, and rather hurtful in their effects, and has followed after the pleasures of knowledge in this life; who has adorned the soul in her own proper jewels, which are temperance, and justice, and courage, and nobility, and truth—in these arrayed she is ready to go on her journey to the world below, when her time comes. You, Simmias and Cebes, and all other men, will depart at some time or other. Me already, as the tragic poet would say, the voice of fate calls.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Love between man and man is impossible because there must not be sexual intercourse and friendship between man and woman is impossible because there must be sexual intercourse.”
Dubliners • James Joyce“My specialty is being right when other people are wrong.”
You Never Can Tell • George Bernard Shaw““A more effective way to spot a liar is to notice if he puts the palm of his hand on his chest — preferably his right hand over his heart — and sighs indignantly when he’s been accused of lying.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people.”
Tales From Tolstoy • Leo Tolstoy
