“Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.”

By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept  • Paulo Coelho

“The most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: Those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection, mere buoys that float on the waves.”

the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset

“That books do not take the place of experience, and that learning is no substitute for genius, are two kindred phenomena; their common ground is that the abstract can never take the place of the perceptive.”

The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer

“ “Because without compassion, life has little value.””

My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos

“Whence come wars, and fighting, and factions? whence but from the body and the lusts of the body? For wars are occasioned by the love of money, and money has to be acquired for the sake and in service of the body; and in consequence of all these things, the time which ought to be given to philosophy is lost.”

The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
