“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“They vomit their gall and call it a newspaper.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.”
Thyestes • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Desire may reflect anything from a desperate need to a transitory want. In either case, wealth is anything that satisfies the craving. It applies balm to the itch. It may, in fact, gratify more than one desire at a time. We may want a touch of beauty on our living room wall. A painting, even an inexpensive reproduction, may provide a small surge of pleasure every time we pause to look at it. The same work of art may simultaneously fulfill our desire to impress visitors with our splendid good taste, or our social importance. But wealth can also be a bank account, a bicycle, a hoard of food or a health insurance policy.”
Revolutionary Wealth • Alvin Toffler“The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde
