“It is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows.”
Discourses • Epictetus“Why, within Eurasia, were European societies, rather than those of the Fertile Crescent or China or India, the ones that colonized America and Australia, took the lead in technology, and became politically and economically dominant in the modern world?”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“ “Wisdom... comes not from age, but from education and learning.””
The Cherry Orchard • Anton Chekhov“One could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low. Then one gave it up; then the idea sunk back again; then one became like most middle-aged people, cautious, furtive, with wrinkles between the eyes and a look of perpetual apprehension. For how could one express in words these emotions of the body? express that emptiness there?”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.”
The Law of Love and the Law of Violence • Leo Tolstoy
