“He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“In this present life, I reckon that we make the nearest approach to knowledge when we have the least possible concern or interest in the body, and are not saturated with the bodily nature, but remain pure until the hour when God himself is pleased to release us. And then the foolishness of the body will be cleared away and we shall be pure and hold converse with othe pure souls, and know of ourselves the clear light everywhere; and this is surely the light of truth. For no impure thing is allowed to approach the pure. These are the sort of words, Simmias, which the true lovers of wisdom cannot help saying to one another, and thinking.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The people with the clear heads are the ones who look life in the face, realize that everything in it is problematic, and feel themselves lost. And this is the simple truth: that to live is to feel oneself lost. Those who accept it have already begun to find themselves, to be on firm ground.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers.”
The Old Curiosity Shop • Charles Dickens“We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
