“You are what you believe yourself to be”
The Witch of Portobello • Paulo Coelho“In this present life, I reckon that we make the nearest approach to knowledge when we have the least possible concern or interest in the body, and are not saturated with the bodily nature, but remain pure until the hour when God himself is pleased to release us. And then the foolishness of the body will be cleared away and we shall be pure and hold converse with othe pure souls, and know of ourselves the clear light everywhere; and this is surely the light of truth. For no impure thing is allowed to approach the pure. These are the sort of words, Simmias, which the true lovers of wisdom cannot help saying to one another, and thinking.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato““Wherefore each of you, when his turn comes, must go down to the general underground abode, and get the habit of seeing in the dark.””
Republic • Plato“The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, for it was properly done.”
Le Pere Goriot • Honore de Balzac“For whoever has what he has from the God himself clearly has it at first hand; and he who does not have it from the God himself is not a disciple. Let us assume that it is otherwise, that the contemporary generation of disciples had received the condition from the God, and that the subsequent generations were to receive it from these contemporaries – what would follow?”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard
