““Everything you say to a person is filtered through his frames of reference, biases, and preconceived ideas.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“Christianity gave Eros poison to drink; he did not die of it, certainly, but degenerated to Vice.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““Well, he used to say that the great thing in married life was patience. Do you hear, Vanya? Not love, but patience. Love cannot last long. You have lived two years in love, and now evidently your married life has reached the period when, in order to preserve equilibrium, so to speak, you ought to exercise all your patience. . . .””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““So, listen, to yourself and to those with whom you are speaking. Your wisdom then consists not of the knowledge you already have, but the continual search for knowledge, which is the highest form of wisdom.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson“[Why is suicide held not to be right?] There is a doctrine uttered in secret that a man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door to his prison and run away; this is a great mystery which I do not understand. Yet I too, believe that the gods are our guardians, and that we are a possession of theirs. ...And if one of your possessions, an ox or an ass, for example took the liberty of putting himself out of the way when you had given no intimation of your wish that he should die, would you not be angry with him, and would you not punish him if you could? ...Then there may be reason in saying that a man should wait, and not take his own life until God summons him, as he is now summoning me.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
