“And are not the temperate exactly in the same case? They are temperate because they are intemperate—which may seem to be a contradiction, but is nevertheless the sort of thing which happens with this foolish temperance. For there are pleasures which they must have, and are afraid of losing; and therefore they abstain from one class of pleasures because they are overcome by another: and whereas intemperance is defined as "being under the domination of pleasure," they overcome only because they are overcome by pleasure.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Virtue never has been as respectable as money.”
Innocents Abroad • Mark Twain“H'aint we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain't that a big enough majority in any town?”
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn • Mark Twain““Every bit of learning is a little death. Every bit of new information challenges a previous conception, forcing it to dissolve into chaos before it can be reborn as something better. Sometimes such deaths virtually destroy us.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson“The task of breaking a bad habit is like uprooting a powerful oak within us.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear
