“Desire may reflect anything from a desperate need to a transitory want. In either case, wealth is anything that satisfies the craving. It applies balm to the itch. It may, in fact, gratify more than one desire at a time. We may want a touch of beauty on our living room wall. A painting, even an inexpensive reproduction, may provide a small surge of pleasure every time we pause to look at it. The same work of art may simultaneously fulfill our desire to impress visitors with our splendid good taste, or our social importance. But wealth can also be a bank account, a bicycle, a hoard of food or a health insurance policy.”

 Revolutionary Wealth • Alvin Toffler

“There is no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse.”

The Trials Of Socrates • Plato

“If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.”

The First Step • Leo Tolstoy

““Why, Milena, do you write about our common future which will never be, or is it that why you write about it? (…) Few things are certain, but one is that we’ll never live together, share an apartment, body to body, at a common table, never, not even in the same city. (…) Incidentally, Milena, you must agree when you examine yourself and me and take soundings of the “sea” between “Vienna” and “Prague” with its insurmountably high waves.” (Prague, September 1920)”

Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka

“A little in one's own pocket is better than much in another man's purse.”

Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
