“ Europe's colonization of Africa had nothing to do with differences between European and African peoples. ”

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

“It should be noted that vegetarianism is still a source of ridicule for those who do not know the truth; How easily we laughed at our ancestors, the day will come when future generations will laugh at our superstitions.”

The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat

“More and more it seems to me that the philosopher, being of necessity a man of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, has always found himself, and had to find himself, in contradiction to his today: his enemy was ever the ideal of today. So far all these extraordinary furtherers of men whom one calls philosophers, though they themselves have rarely felt like friends of wisdom but rather like disagreeable fools and dangerous question marks, have found their task, their hard, unwanted, inescapable task, but eventually also the greatness of their task, in being the bad conscience of their time.”

Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”

Pride and Prejudice • Jane Austen

“It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But ... it is better to be good than to be ugly.”

The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde
