See All“Hatred is a feeling which leads to the extinction of values”
Meditations on Quixote • Jose Ortega y Gasset“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“Certainly the prolonged education indispensable to the progress of Society is not natural to mankind. It cuts against the grain. A boy would like to follow his father in pursuit of food or prey. He would like to be doing serviceable things so far as his utmost strength allowed. He would like to be earning wages however small to help to keep up the home. He would like to have some leisure of his own to use or misuse as he pleased. He would ask little more than the right to work or starve. And then perhaps in the evenings a real love of learning would come to those who are worthy – and why try to stuff in those who are not? – and knowledge and thought would open the ‘magic casements’ of the mind.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Beware the ides of March.”
Julius Caesar • William Shakespeare“The creation of freedom for oneself and a sacred "No" even to duty -- for that, my brothers, the lion is needed.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche
