“Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
The Naval Treaty • Arthur Conan Doyle“Christianity gave Eros poison to drink; he did not die of it, certainly, but degenerated to Vice.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““The vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Perhaps our greatest distinction as a species is our capacity, unique among animals, to make counter-evolutionary choices.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“Even in those cities which seem to enjoy the blessings of peace, and where the arts florish, the inhabitants are devoured by envy, cares and anxieties, which are greater plagues than any experienced in a town when it is under siege.”
Candide • Voltaire
