““Wherefore each of you, when his turn comes, must go down to the general underground abode, and get the habit of seeing in the dark.””
Republic • Plato“ “The happy man only feels at ease because the unhappy bear their burden in silence."”
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“Without It, the fairest universe is but a randomly scattered dust-heap. If we are to speak with intelligence, we must found our being on that which is common to all... For that Logos which governs man is born of the One, which is Divine. It [the Divine] governs the universe by Its will, and is more than sufficient to everyone.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“The most miserable mortals are they that deliver themselves up to their palates, or to their lusts; the pleasure is short, and turns presently nauseous, and the end of it is either shame or repentance.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Let us... be careful of admitting into our souls the notion that there is no truth or health or soundness in any arguments at all; but let us rather say that there is as yet no health in us, and that we must quit ourselves like men and do our best to gain health—you and all other men with a view to the whole of your future life, and I myself with a view to death.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
