“...do not courageous men endure death because they are afraid of yet greater evils? ...Then all but philosophers are courageous only from fear, and because they are afraid; and yet that a man should be courageous from fear, and because he is a coward, is surely a strange thing.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“How charming it is that there are words and sounds: are not words and sounds rainbows and illusive bridges between things eternally separated?”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is -- a vice?”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“The measure of a person's disposition is this: ... how great is the distance between his understanding and his actions. Basically we all understand the highest. A child, the simplest person, and the wisest all understand the highest. ... But what makes the difference is whether we understand it at a distance—so that we do not act accordingly, or close at hand—so that we act accordingly and "cannot do otherwise."”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard““Shall we just carelessly allow children to hear any casual tales which may be devised by casual persons, and to receive into their minds ideas for the most part the very opposite of those which we should wish them to have when they are grown up?””
Republic • Plato
