“Chess ... a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever when they are only wasting their time.”
The Irrational Knot • George Bernard Shaw““If I am right, certain professors of education must be wrong when they say that they can put a knowledge into the soul which was not there before, like sight into blind eyes.””
Republic • Plato“Through the eclipse of large areas of the self, by repression and inhibition as well as by idealization and externalization, the individual loses sight of himself; he feels, if he does not actually become, like a shadow without weight and substance.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney““The people do not wish to be ruled nor oppressed by the nobles, and the nobles wish to rule and oppress the people.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“The Lord had given them the day and the Lord had given them the strength. And the day and the strength had been dedicated to labor, and the labor was its reward. Who was the labor for? What would be its fruits? These were irrelevant and idle questions.”
Anna Karenina • Leo Tolstoy
