“And are not the temperate exactly in the same case? They are temperate because they are intemperate—which may seem to be a contradiction, but is nevertheless the sort of thing which happens with this foolish temperance. For there are pleasures which they must have, and are afraid of losing; and therefore they abstain from one class of pleasures because they are overcome by another: and whereas intemperance is defined as "being under the domination of pleasure," they overcome only because they are overcome by pleasure.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato““Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is the fruit of love the verb or our loving actions. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“It seemed ... such nonsense -- inventing differences, when people, heaven knows, were different enough without that.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“He whose daily life has been a rounded whole, is easy in his mind.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardor of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski
