“Government is merely a servant – merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.”
The Bible According to Mark Twain • Mark Twain“I write only for my shadow which is cast on the wall in front of the light. I must introduce myself to it.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“The Law of Raspberry Jam: the wider any culture is spread, the thinner it gets.”
The Culture Consumers • Alvin Toffler“Govinda said: “Still, oh Siddhartha, you love a bit to mock people, as it seems to me. I believe in you and know that you haven’t followed a teacher. But haven’t you found something by yourself, though you’ve found no teachings, you still found certain thoughts, certain insights, which are your own and which help you to live? If you would like to tell me some of these, you would delight my heart.” Quoth Siddhartha: “I’ve had thoughts, yes, and insight, again and again. Sometimes, for an hour or for an entire day, I have felt knowledge in me, as one would feel life in one’s heart. There have been many thoughts, but it would be hard for me to convey them to you. Look, my dear Govinda, this is one of my thoughts, which I have found: wisdom cannot be passed on. Wisdom which a wise man tries to pass on to someone always sounds like foolishness.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Loyalty gives traitors opportunity.”
Oedipus • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
