“When a simple man who has no skill in dialectics believes an argument to be true which he afterwards imagines to be false, whether really false or not, and then another and another, he no longer has any faith left, and great disputers, as you know, come to think, at last that they have grown to be the wisest of mankind; for they alone perceive the utter unsoundness and instability of all arguments, or, indeed, of all things, which like the currents in the Euripus, are going up and down in never-ceasing ebb and flow.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Tell me thy company, and I'll tell thee what thou art.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“No one knows how greatness comes to a man. It may lie in his blackness, sleeping, or it may lance into him like those driven fiery particles from outer space. These things, however, are known about greatness: need gives it life and puts it in action; it never comes without pain; it leaves a man changed, chastened, and exalted at the same time--he can never return to simplicity.”
Sweet Thursday • John Steinbeck“History, as well as life itself, is complicated; neither life nor history is an enterprise for those who seek simplicity and consistency.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“There's not the least thing can be said or done, but people will talk and find fault.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
