““I suspect that many will not be satisfied with the simpler way of life.””
Republic • Plato“'But,' I [Dmitri Karamazov] asked, 'how will man be after that? Without God and the future life? It means everything is permitted now, one can do anything?' 'Didn't you know?' he said. And he laughed. 'Everything is permitted to the intelligent man,' he said.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski““For certainly old age has a great sense of calm and freedom; when the passions relax their hold, then, as Sophocles says, we are freed from the grasp not of one mad master only, but of many. The truth is, Socrates, that these regrets, and also the complaints about relations, are to be attributed to the same cause, which is not old age, but men’s characters and tempers; for he who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.””
Republic • Plato“Procrastination is the thief of time, collar him.”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“When Life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran
