““Then justice is the art which gives good to friends and evil to enemies.””
Republic • Plato“Cathy's lies were never innocent. Their purpose was to escape punishment, or work, or responsibility, and they were used for profit. Most liars are tripped up either because they forget what they have told or because the lie is suddenly faced with an incontrovertible truth. But Cathy did not forget her lies, and she developed the most effective method of lying. She stayed close enough to the truth so that one could never be sure. She knew two other methods also -- either to interlard her lies with truth or to tell a truth as though it were a lie. If one is accused of a lie and it turns out to be the truth, there is a backlog that will last a long time and protect a number of untruths.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“America has never quite forgiven Europe for having been discovered somewhat earlier in history than itself.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde““He had started to suspect that his venerable father and his other teachers, that the wise Brahmans had already revealed to him the most and best of their wisdom, that they had already filled his expecting vessel with their richness, and the vessel was not full, the spirit was not content, the soul was not calm, the heart was not satisfied.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
