“Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“Desire's wind blasts the thorntree but after it becomes from a bramblebush to be a rose upon the rood of time.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“It's unfortunate that this has happened. No. It's fortunate that this has happened and I've remained unharmed by it—not shattered by the present or frightened of the future. It could have happened to anyone. But not everyone could have remained unharmed by it.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“″‘And if there were a contest, and he had to compete in measuring the shadows with the prisoners who had never moved out of the den, while his sight was still weak, and before his eyes had become steady (and the time which would be needed to acquire this new habit of sight might be very considerable), would he not be ridiculous? Men would say of him that up he went and down he came without his eyes; and that it was better not even to think of ascending; and if any one tried to loose another and lead him up to the light, let them only catch the offender, and they would put him to death.’ ‘No question,’ he said.””
Republic • Plato“O, dread and dire word. Eternity! What mind of man can understand it?”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce
