Ecce Homo • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““Do you hear?” Vasudeva’s mute gaze asked. Siddhartha nodded. “Listen better!” Vasudeva whispered.”
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“For it is not death or pain that is to be feared, but the fear of pain or death.”
Discourses • Epictetus“The lot assigned to every man is suited to him, and suits him to itself.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“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
