“Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Absolute greatness will never be great and also small, but that greatness in us or in the concrete will never admit the small or admit of even being exceeded; instead of this, one of two things will happen—either the greater will fly and retire before the opposite, which is the less, or the advance of the less will cease to exist; but will not, if allowing or admitting smallness, be changed by that...nor can any other opposite which remains the same ever be or become its own opposite, but either passes away or perishes in the change.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“ The resulting food surpluses ... were a prerequisite for the development of ... innovative societies. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“ "He who learns but does not think is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“ “He dies only the five senses that we know perish with him, and the other ninety-five remain alive.””
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov
