“Yes, world history is indeed such an onion!”

Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)

“„Mankind are not perfect, but one age is more or less hypocritical than another, and then simpletons say that its morality is high or low.“”

Le Pere Goriot • Honore de Balzac

“Now, blessings light on him that first invented this same sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.”

Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes

“Thou wine art the friend of the friendless, though a foe to all.”

Mardi • Herman Melville

“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
