“Ah! there is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.”
Emma • Jane Austen“The object of Parliament is to substitute argument for fisticuffs.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Now just as the historical gives occasion for the contemporary to become a disciple, but only it must be noted through receiving the condition from the God himself, since otherwise we speak Socratically, so the testimony of contemporaries gives occasion for each successor to become a disciple, but only it must be noted through receiving the condition from the God himself.”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“Religious values tend to be especially deeply held and hence frequent cause of disastrous behaviour.

In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius
