“But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.”
Anna Karenina • Leo Tolstoy“What relationship could exist between the lives of the fools and healthy rabble who were well, who slept well, who performed the sexual act well, who had never felt the wings of death on their face every moment—what relationship could exist between them and one like me who has arrived at the end of his rope and who knows that he will pass away gradually and tragically?”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Many brief follies--that is what you call love. And your marriage puts an end to many brief follies, with a single long stupidity.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche““There will be no injustice in compelling our philosophers to have a care and providence of others.””
Republic • Plato“I conceive that the founders of the mysteries had a real meaning and were not mere triflers when they intimated in a figure long ago that he who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world below will live in a slough, but that he who arrives there after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods. For "many," as they say in the mysteries, "are the thyrsus bearers, but few are the mystics,"—meaning, as I interpret the words, the true philosophers.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
