“ Why is that you white people developed so much cargo ... but we black people had little cargo? ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“For after death, as they say, the genius of each individual, to whom he belonged in life, leads him to a certain place in which the dead are gathered together for judgment, whence they go into the world below, following the guide who is appointed to conduct them from this world to the other; and when they have there received their due and remained their time, another guide brings them back again after many revolutions of ages.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“Trifles make the sum of life.”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“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.”
