“ “Merely to be alone, not to be beaten or questioned, to have enough to eat, and to be clean all over, was completely satisfying.””
1984 • George Orwell“If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.”
Immaturity • George Bernard Shaw“God is the middle term. Only by loving God above all else can one love the neighbor. Love for the neighbor is therefore the eternal equality in loving. Equality is simply not to make distinctions and eternal equality is unconditionally not to make the slightest distinction, unqualifiedly not to make the slightest distinction. The essential Christian is itself too weighty, in its movements too earnest to scurry about, dancing, in the frivolity of such facile talk about the higher, highest, and the supremely highest.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“There is a virtue, Simmias, which is named courage. Is not that a special attribute of the philosopher? ...Again, there is temperance. Is not the calm, and control, and disdain of the passions which even the many call temperance, a quality belonging only to those who despise the body and live in philosophy?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Death may beget life, but oppression can beget nothing other than itself.”
A Tale of Two Cities • Charles Dickens
