“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“The healthy man does not torture others -- generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.”
Return to the Simple Life • Carl Gustav Jung“As there are misanthropists, or haters of men, there are also misologists or haters of ideas, and both spring from the same cause, which is ignorance of the world. Misanthropy arises from too great confidence of inexperience; you trust a man and think him altogether true and good and faithful, and then in a little while he turns out to be false and knavish; and then another and another, and when this has happened several times to a man, especially within the circle of his most trusted friends, as he deems them, and he has often quarreled with them, he at last hates all men, and believes that no one has any good in him at all. ...The reason is that a man, having to deal with other men, has no knowledge of them; for if he had knowledge he would have known the true state of the case, that few are the good and few the evil, and that the great majority are in the interval between them.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word-- Man.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Translating from one language to another, unless it is from Greek and Latin, the queens of all languages, is like looking at Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, for although the figures are visible, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and cannot be seen with the smoothness and color of the right side.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
