“Prize that which is best in the universe; and this is that which useth everything and ordereth everything.”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“[In what way would you have us bury you?] In any way that you like; only you must get hold of me, and take care that I do not walk away from you. ...I cannot make Crito believe that I am the same Socrates who have been talking and conducting the argument; he fancies that I am the other Socrates whom he will soon see, a dead body... And though I have spoken many words in the endeavor to show that when I have drunk the poison I shall leave you and go to the joys of the blessed—these words of mine, with which I comforted you and myself, have had, I perceive, no effect upon Crito. ...you should be my surety to him that I shall not remain, but go away and depart; and then he will suffer less at my death, and not be grieved when he sees my body being burned or buried.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“In life there are certain sores that, like a canker, gnaw at the soul in solitude and diminish it. ”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“I do not love men: I love what devours them.”
Prometheus Misbound • Andre Gide“So the lion is the law-breaker. Just as to the primitive man the lion is the lawbreaker, the great nuisance, dangerous to human beings and to animals, that breaks into the Kraal at night and fetches the bull out of the herd: he is the destructive instinct.”
Nietzsche's Zarathustra • Carl Gustav Jung
