“Those also who are remarkable for having led holy lives are released from this earthly prison, and go to their pure home which is above, and dwell in the purer earth; and those who have duly purified themselves with philosophy live henceforth altogether without the body, in mansions fairer far than these...”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult?”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.”
A Christmas Carol • Charles Dickens“Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man. It happens to nearly everyone. You can feel it growing or preparing like a fuse burning toward dynamite. It is a feeling in the stomach, a delight of the nerves, of the forearms. The skin tastes the air, and every deep-drawn breath is sweet. Its beginning has the pleasure of a great stretching yawn; it flashes in the brain and the whole world glows outside your eyes. A man may have lived all his life in the gray, and the land and trees of him dark and somber. The events, even the important ones, may have trooped by faceless and pale. And then — the glory — so that a cricket song sweetens the ears, the smell of the earth rises chanting to his nose, and dappling light under a tree blesses his eyes. Then a man pours outward, a torrent of him, and yet he is not diminished.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck
