“Certainly the prolonged education indispensable to the progress of Society is not natural to mankind. It cuts against the grain. A boy would like to follow his father in pursuit of food or prey. He would like to be doing serviceable things so far as his utmost strength allowed. He would like to be earning wages however small to help to keep up the home. He would like to have some leisure of his own to use or misuse as he pleased. He would ask little more than the right to work or starve. And then perhaps in the evenings a real love of learning would come to those who are worthy – and why try to stuff in those who are not? – and knowledge and thought would open the ‘magic casements’ of the mind.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“I do not mean to affirm that the description which I have given of the soul and her missions is exactly true—a man of sense ought hardly say that. But I do say that, inasmuch as the soul is shown to be immortal, he may venture to think, not improperly or unworthily, that something of this kind is true.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“If there is no immortality, there is no virtue. ... Without God and immortal life? All things are lawful then, they can do what they like?”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Abundance, even of good things, prevents them from being valued; and scarcity, even in the case of what is bad, confers a certain value.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes““A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn’t mean anything but that I didn’t think so.””
Stranger • Albert Camus
