Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle • Carl Gustav Jung“The teacher reminded us that Rome's liberties were not auctioned off in a day, but were bought slowly, gradually, furtively, little by little; first with a little corn and oil for the exceedingly poor and wretched, later with corn and oil for voters who were not quite so poor, later still with corn and oil for pretty much every man that had a vote to sell--exactly our own history over again.”
Purchasing Civic Virtue • Mark Twain“"I don't want to call this monster my brother, all I can say is: we have to try and get rid of it."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“What is that the inherence of which, will render the body alive? [The soul.] ...Then whatever the soul possesses, to that she comes bearing life? ...And is there an opposite to life? [Death.] Then the soul, as she has been acknowledged, will never receive the opposite of what she brings. ...And what do we call the principle which does not admit of death? [The immortal.] And does the soul admit of death? [No.] Then the soul is immortal? [Yes.]”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
