“You would say... inexperienced as I am, and ready to start, as the proverb says, at my own shadow, I cannot afford to give up the sure ground of principle. ...and when you are further required to give an explanation of this principle, you would go on to assume a higher principle, and the best of the higher ones, until you found a resting place; but you would not refuse the principle and consequences in your reasoning like the Eristics—at least if you wanted to discover real existence.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“This monster of a land, this mightiest of nations, this spawn of the future, turns out to be the macrocosm of microcosm me.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“Never laugh at live dragons.”
The Hobbit • J.R.R Tolkien“Death, a cause of terror to the sinner, is a blessed moment for him who has walked in the right path.”
