“For sight is woman-like and shuns the old. Ah! he can see enough, when years are told, Who backwards looks.”
Eviradnus • VICTOR HUGO“To judge the appearances we receive of things, we should need a judicatory instrument; to verify this instrument, we should need a demonstration; to rectify this demonstration, we should need an instrument: so here we are arguing in a circle. Seeing the senses cannot decide our dispute, being themselves full of uncertainty, we must have recourse to Reason; there is no reason but must be built upon another reason, so here we are retreating backwards to all eternity.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“We admitted that everything living is born of the dead. For if the soul existed before birth, and in coming to life and being born can be born only from death and dying, must she not after death continue to exist, since she has to be born again?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“For myself I am an optimist -- it does not seem to be much use being anything else.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“The fundament upon which all our knowledge and learning rests is the inexplicable.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer
