“Beware the ides of March.”
Julius Caesar • William Shakespeare“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“ “I can’t realize where the story ends and life begins. Sometimes they look at me strangely, then I wake up.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“Art has to reveal to us ideas, formless spiritual essences. The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring. The painting of Gustave Moreau is the painting of ideas. The deepest poetry of Shelley, the words of Hamlet bring our mind into contact with the eternal wisdom, Plato's world of ideas. All the rest is the speculation of schoolboys for schoolboys.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu
