“The body is a source of endless trouble to us by reason of the mere requirement of food; and is also liable to diseases which overtake and impede us in the search after truth: and by filling us so full of loves, and lusts, and fears, and fancies, and idols, and every sort of folly, prevents our ever having, as people say, so much as a thought.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The streets of London have their map, but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?”
Jacob's Room • Virginia Woolf“Gold conjures up a mist about a man, more destructive of all his old senses and lulling to his feelings than the fumes of charcoal.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“I think that one should view with philosophic admiration the strange paths of the libido and should investigate the purposes of its circuitous ways.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung““The prison-house is the world of sight, the light of the fire is the sun, and you will not misapprehend me if you interpret the journey upwards to be the ascent of the soul into the intellectual world according to my poor belief, which, at your desire, I have expressed—whether rightly or wrongly God knows.””
Republic • Plato
