“There is no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“One's emotional state is always determined by the oddest and most accidental things, and it is precisely the most superficial factors that often fortify or diminish our courage.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien“Many count their chickens before they are hatched; and where they expect bacon, meet with broken bones.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius
