“A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“When does the soul obtain truth?—for in attempting to consider anything in company with the body she is obviously deceived. ...Then must not existence be revealed to her in thought, if at all? ...And thought is best when the mind is gathered into herself and none of these things trouble her—neither sounds nor sights nor pain nor any pleasure—when she has as little as possible to do with the body, and has no bodily sense or feeling, but is aspiring after being? ...And in this the philosopher dishonors the body; his soul runs away from the body and desires to be alone and by herself?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato““She said, ‘If you go slowly, you risk getting sunstroke. But if you go too fast, you work up a sweat and then catch a chill inside the church.’ She was right. There was no way out.””
Stranger • Albert Camus“There are 80,000 prostitutes in London alone and what are they, if not bloody sacrifices on the altar of monogamy?”
Studies in Pessimism • Arthur Schopenhauer“Soon you will have forgotten the world, and soon the world will have forgotten you.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
