“This question of yours, Sir, about my being a house painter — or rather, not a question, you simply made a statement — is typical of the whole character of this trial that is being foisted on me. You may object that it is not a trial at all; you are quite right, for it is only a trial if I recognize it as such. But for the moment I do recognize it, on grounds of compassion, as it were. One can't regard it except with compassion, if one is to regard it at all. I do not say that your procedure is contemptible, but I should like to present that epithet to you for your private consumption.”

Republic • Plato““She was pressing her brown, sun-tanned face to the bars and smiling as hard as she could. I thought she was looking very pretty, but somehow couldn’t bring myself to tell her so.””
Stranger • Albert Camus“Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“Language is originally and essentially nothing but a system of signs or symbols, which denote real occurrences, or their echo in the human soul.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung
