“A little in one's own pocket is better than much in another man's purse.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“If you seek truth, you will not seek by every means to gain a victory; and if you have found truth, you will have the gain of not being defeated.”
Fragment • Epictetus“Granted I am a babbler, a harmless vexatious babbler, like all of us. But what is to be done if the direct and sole vocation of every intelligent man is babble, that is, the intentional pouring of water through a sieve?”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“[In what way would you have us bury you?] In any way that you like; only you must get hold of me, and take care that I do not walk away from you. ...I cannot make Crito believe that I am the same Socrates who have been talking and conducting the argument; he fancies that I am the other Socrates whom he will soon see, a dead body... And though I have spoken many words in the endeavor to show that when I have drunk the poison I shall leave you and go to the joys of the blessed—these words of mine, with which I comforted you and myself, have had, I perceive, no effect upon Crito. ...you should be my surety to him that I shall not remain, but go away and depart; and then he will suffer less at my death, and not be grieved when he sees my body being burned or buried.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The dressmaker doesn't have problems unless the dress has to hide rather than reveal.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig
