“Words are acoustical signs for concepts; concepts, however, are more or less definite image signs for often recurring and associated sensations, for groups of sensations. To understand one another, it is not enough that one use the same words; one also has to use the same words for the same species of inner experiences; in the end one has to have one's experiences in common.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“I do not mean to affirm that the description which I have given of the soul and her missions is exactly true—a man of sense ought hardly say that. But I do say that, inasmuch as the soul is shown to be immortal, he may venture to think, not improperly or unworthily, that something of this kind is true.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“For in order to command well, we should know how to submit; and he who submits with a good grace will some time become worthy of commanding.”
On The Laws • Marcus Tullius Cicero“There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word-- Man.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Almost all studies of child development emphasize the role of childhood stimulation and activity in promoting mental development, and stress the irreversible mental stunting associated with reduced childhood stimulation.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
