“Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Look within. Within is the fountain of the good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.”

Book II • Marcus Aurelius“He is no longer a city dweller who has even once in his life caught a ruff or seen how, on clear and cool autumn days, flocks of migrating thrushes drift over a village. Until his death he will be drawn to freedom.”

Republic • Plato
