“It may be said, indeed, that without bones and muscles and the other parts of the body I cannot execute my purposes. But to say that I do as I do because of them, and that this is the way in which the mind acts, and not from the choice of the best, is a very careless and idle mode of speaking. I wonder that they cannot distinguish the cause from the condition, which the many, feeling about in the dark, are always mistaking and misnaming.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.”

Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.”
The Valley of Fear • Arthur Conan Doyle““It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” ”
