““He had started to suspect that his venerable father and his other teachers, that the wise Brahmans had already revealed to him the most and best of their wisdom, that they had already filled his expecting vessel with their richness, and the vessel was not full, the spirit was not content, the soul was not calm, the heart was not satisfied.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Much better an intelligent hell than a stupid paradise.”
Ninety-Three • VICTOR HUGO“I have never said that human society ought to be aristocratic, but a great deal more than that. What I have said, and still believe with ever-increasing conviction, is that human society is always, whether it will or no, aristocratic by its very essence, to the extreme that it is a society in the measure that it is aristocratic, and ceases to be such when it ceases to be aristocratic. Of course I am speaking now of society and not of the State.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Although always prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it should be postponed.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Why, within Eurasia, were European societies, rather than those of the Fertile Crescent or China or India, the ones that colonized America and Australia, took the lead in technology, and became politically and economically dominant in the modern world?”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
