“How I understand the philosopher - as a terrible explosive, endangering everthing... my concept of the philosopher is worlds removed from any concept that would include even a Kant, not to speak of academic "ruminants" and other professors of philosophy...”
Ecce Homo • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Those ruffians, the Gods, shan't have it all their own way.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“[In what way would you have us bury you?] In any way that you like; only you must get hold of me, and take care that I do not walk away from you. ...I cannot make Crito believe that I am the same Socrates who have been talking and conducting the argument; he fancies that I am the other Socrates whom he will soon see, a dead body... And though I have spoken many words in the endeavor to show that when I have drunk the poison I shall leave you and go to the joys of the blessed—these words of mine, with which I comforted you and myself, have had, I perceive, no effect upon Crito. ...you should be my surety to him that I shall not remain, but go away and depart; and then he will suffer less at my death, and not be grieved when he sees my body being burned or buried.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Prayer never brought in no side-meat. Takes a shoat to bring in pork.”
The Grapes of Wrath • John Steinbeck“I would be the least among men with dreams and the desire to fulfill them, rather than the greatest with no dreams and no desires.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran
