What is art? • Leo Tolstoy“I am confident in the belief that there truly is such a thing as living again, and that the living spring from the dead, and that the souls of the dead are in existence, and that the good souls have a better portion than the evil.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Why, within Eurasia, were European societies, rather than those of the Fertile Crescent or China or India, the ones that colonized America and Australia, took the lead in technology, and became politically and economically dominant in the modern world?”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“There's many a true word spoken in jest.”

The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde
