“Now is the winter of our discontent”
Richard III • 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“To be in love is not the same as loving. You can be in love with a woman and still hate her.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski““A young person cannot judge what is allegorical and what is literal; anything that he receives into his mind at that age is likely to become indelible and unalterable; and therefore it is most important that the tales which the young first hear should be models of virtuous thoughts.””
Republic • Plato“I recommend all adventurous youths who abandon vessels in romantic islands during the rainy season to provide themselves with umbrellas.”
Typee • Herman Melville
