The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life.”

Discourses • Epictetus“Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.”
