“The stupider one is, the closer one is to reality. The stupider one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence wriggles and hides itself. Intelligence is a knave, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Yes, world history is indeed such an onion!”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“The hands and fingers have a good deal to do with stealing; and the history of many a man's life is written by his ten fingers.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“And this, Cebes, is the reason why the true lovers of knowledge are temperate and brave; and not for the reason that the world gives. For not in that way does the soul of a philosopher reason. ...Never fear, Simmias and Cebes, that a soul which has been thus nurtured and has had these pursuits, will at her departure from the body be scattered and blown away by the winds and be nowhere and nothing.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce
