“Then I heard someone who had a book of Anaxagoras, as he said, out of which he read that the mind was the disposer and cause of all... and I said to myself: If mind is the disposer, mind will dispose all for the best, and put each particular in the best place; and I argued that if anyone desired to find out the cause of the generation or destruction of anything, he must find out what state of being or suffering or doing was best for that thing, and therefore a man had only consider the best for himself and others, and then he would also know the worse, for that the same science comprised both.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.”
Hercules Furens • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Death, like generation, is a secret of Nature.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“They vomit their gall and call it a newspaper.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“The Christian religion seems to have fulfilled its great biological purpose, in so far as we are able to judge. It has led human thought to independence, and has lost its significance, therefore, to a yet undetermined extent.... It seems to me that we might still make use in some way of its form of thought, and especially of its great wisdom of life, which for two thousand years has proven to be particularly efficacious.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung
