“And now that the hour of departure is appointed to me, this is the hope with which I depart, and not I only, but every man that believes that he has his mind purified.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato““Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell“One could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low.

Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)““I suspect that many will not be satisfied with the simpler way of life.””
Republic • Plato
