“It is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows.”
Discourses • Epictetus“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
Pride and Prejudice • Jane Austen““Wherefore each of you, when his turn comes, must go down to the general underground abode, and get the habit of seeing in the dark.””
Republic • Plato“It’s every man’s business to see justice done.”
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes • Arthur Conan Doyle“In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.”
Tortilla Flat • John Steinbeck
