“From Plato: the man who has an elevated mind and takes a view of all time and of all substance, dost thou suppose it possible for him to think that human life is anything great? It is not possible, he said. Such a man then will think that death also is no evil.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius““When I get fed up with one, I spend the night with the other.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Meditation and water are wedded for ever.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf“All human societies contain inventive people. It’s just that some environments provide more starting materials, and more favorable conditions for utilizing inventions, than do other environments.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
