“Strange that creatures without backbones have the hardest shells.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran“Sometimes a man wants to be stupid if it lets him do a thing his cleverness forbids.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“If anger is not restrained, it is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“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“I do not love men: I love what devours them.”
Prometheus Misbound • Andre Gide
