“Life takes us by surprise and orders us to move toward the unknown — even when we don't want to and when we think we don't need to.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho““The vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“For of all gainful professions, nothing is better, nothing more pleasing, nothing more delightful, nothing better becomes a well-bred man than agriculture.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“If the human race is to reach its peak of development one day, it will be in a natural environment with plant food. As cannibalism and artificial civilization corrupt him and drag him to the abyss of nothingness. Unless a humane race and a non-native whose life is governed by the laws of nature succeed him, otherwise his race will be shamefully extinguished.”
The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat“[In the world below...] The wise and orderly soul is conscious of her situation, and follows in the path; but the soul which desires the body, and which... has long been fluttering about the lifeless frame and the world of sight, is after many struggles and many sufferings hardly and with violence carried away by her attendant genius, and when she arrives at the place where the other souls are gathered, if she be impure and have done impure deeds or have been concerned in foul murders or other crimes... from that soul everyone flees and turns away; no one will be her companion, no one her guide, but alone she wanders in extremity of evil until certain times are fulfilled...”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
