“Do you remember you shot a seagull? A man came by chance, saw it and destroyed it, just to pass the time.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““As you care less about what people think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“Do you know that ages will pass and mankind will proclaim in its wisdom and science that there is no crime and, therefore no sin, but that there are only hungry people. "Feed them first and then demand virtue of them!" — that is what they will inscribe on their banner which they will raise against you and which will destroy your temple.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds … This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“I saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation -- a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any Here. They spoke quietly of how they wanted to go someday, to move about, free and unanchored, not toward something but away from something. I saw this look and heard this yearning everywhere in every states I visited. Nearly every American hungers to move.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck
