Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“One of the definitions of sanity, itself, is the ability to tell real from unreal. Shall we need a new definition?”
Future Shock • Alvin Toffler“″‘And if there were a contest, and he had to compete in measuring the shadows with the prisoners who had never moved out of the den, while his sight was still weak, and before his eyes had become steady (and the time which would be needed to acquire this new habit of sight might be very considerable), would he not be ridiculous? Men would say of him that up he went and down he came without his eyes; and that it was better not even to think of ascending; and if any one tried to loose another and lead him up to the light, let them only catch the offender, and they would put him to death.’ ‘No question,’ he said.””
Republic • Plato“You ain't worth a greased lack pin to ram you into hell.”
