““Shall we just carelessly allow children to hear any casual tales which may be devised by casual persons, and to receive into their minds ideas for the most part the very opposite of those which we should wish them to have when they are grown up?””
Republic • Plato“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”
The Happy Prince • Oscar Wilde““Let the confusion begin, no one can stop it, no one can escape, and some look for ways to take advantage of it.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either.”
Following the Equator • Mark Twain“To judge the appearances we receive of things, we should need a judicatory instrument; to verify this instrument, we should need a demonstration; to rectify this demonstration, we should need an instrument: so here we are arguing in a circle. Seeing the senses cannot decide our dispute, being themselves full of uncertainty, we must have recourse to Reason; there is no reason but must be built upon another reason, so here we are retreating backwards to all eternity.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne
