““He lived in friendship beside Vasudeva, and sometimes they would exchange words with each other, few and well-considered words. Vasudeva was no friend of words, Siddhartha seldom succeeded in inducing him to speak.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Let a man be of good cheer about his soul, who has cast away the pleasures and ornaments of the body as alien to him, and rather hurtful in their effects, and has followed after the pleasures of knowledge in this life; who has adorned the soul in her own proper jewels, which are temperance, and justice, and courage, and nobility, and truth—in these arrayed she is ready to go on her journey to the world below, when her time comes. You, Simmias and Cebes, and all other men, will depart at some time or other. Me already, as the tragic poet would say, the voice of fate calls.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Many evil things there are that your strong walls and bright swords do not stay.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“However, nothing turned out as Tchitchikoff had intended.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol““If I am right, certain professors of education must be wrong when they say that they can put a knowledge into the soul which was not there before, like sight into blind eyes.””
Republic • Plato
