““You can satisfy the people, for their object is more righteous than that of the nobles, the latter wishing to oppress, while the former only desire not to be oppressed.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“The assurance that we have no means of answering [final] questions is no valid excuse for callousness towards them. The more deeply should we feel, down to the roots of our being, their pressure and their sting. Whose hunger has ever been [sated] with the knowledge that he could not eat?”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Man and woman and speech and deed and city and object should be honored with praise if praiseworthy and incur blame if unworthy, for it is an equal error and mistake to blame the praisable and to praise the blamable.”
Gorgias • Plato“This is what happens when you hurry through a maze; the faster you go, the worse you are entangled.”
Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium • Lucius Annaeus Seneca““Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know. I got a telegram from the home: ‘Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours.’ That doesn’t mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.””
Stranger • Albert Camus
