““That’s not the point, Milena, as far as I’m concerned you’re not a woman, you’re a girl, I’ve never seen anyone who was more of a girl than you, and girl that you are, I don’t dare offer you my hand, my dirty, twitching, clawlike, fidgety, unsteady, hot-cold hand.””
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“He who is a philosopher or lover of learning, and is entirely pure at departing, is alone permitted to reach the gods. And this is the reason, Simmias and Cebes, why the true votaries of philosophy abstain from all fleshly lusts, and endure and refuse to give themselves up to them—not because they fear poverty or ruin of their families, like the lovers of money, and the world in general; nor like the lovers of power and honor, because they dread the dishonor or disgrace of evil deeds.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“A suitable starting point from which to compare historical developments on the different continents is around 11,000 B.C.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“If the gods care not for me and for my children, There is a reason for it.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde
