“Gratitude is a rare frame of mind; and those who are grateful can seldom find a way to express what they feel. They are overwhelmed by silence; are shamefaced; and, sometimes, actually try to hide their feelings.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig““Let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened:—Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets.””
Republic • Plato“ “History is something that very few people have been doing while everyone else was ploughing fields and carrying water buckets.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“The note of the perfect personality is not rebellion, but peace.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.”
