“Suppose that there are two sorts of existences, one seen, and the other unseen. ...The seen is the changing, and the unseen is the unchanging. ...And further, is not one part of us body, and the rest of us soul? ...Then the soul is more like to the unseen, and the body to the seen? ...the soul is then dragged by the body into the region of the changeable, and wanders and is confused; the world spins round her, and she is like a drunkard when under their influence?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.”
Lady Windermere's Fan • Oscar Wilde“When we hate a person, what we hate in his image is something inside ourselves. Whatever isn’t inside us can’t excite us.””
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Cry 'Havoc!,' and let slip the dogs of war.”
Julius Caesar • William Shakespeare“My two main conclusions are that technology develops cumulatively, rather than in isolated heroic acts, and that it finds most of its uses after it has been invented, rather than being invented to meet a foreseen need.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
