“Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“How very paltry and limited the normal human intellect is, and how little lucidity there is in the human consciousness, may be judged from the fact that, despite the ephemeral brevity of human life, the uncertainty of our existence and the countless enigmas which press upon us from all sides, everyone does not continually and ceaselessly philosophize, but that only the rarest of exceptions do.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“It invites a search for ultimate causes: why were Europeans, rather than Africans or Native Americans, the ones to end up with guns, the nastiest germs, and steel?”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Let us... be careful of admitting into our souls the notion that there is no truth or health or soundness in any arguments at all; but let us rather say that there is as yet no health in us, and that we must quit ourselves like men and do our best to gain health—you and all other men with a view to the whole of your future life, and I myself with a view to death.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
