“Let no act be done at haphazard, nor otherwise than according to the finished rules that govern its kind.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“Our sex is ultimately laid down by our genes.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“To tell the truth, I often felt uneasy when I thought of the excessive brittleness and fragility of the moon. The moon is generally repaired in Hamburg, and very imperfectly. It is done by a lame cooper, an obvious blockhead who has no idea how to do it. He took waxed thread and olive-oil—hence that pungent smell over all the earth which compels people to hold their noses. And this makes the moon so fragile that no men can live on it, but only noses. Therefore we cannot see our noses, because they are on the moon.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol“In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl“I conceive that the founders of the mysteries had a real meaning and were not mere triflers when they intimated in a figure long ago that he who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world below will live in a slough, but that he who arrives there after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods. For "many," as they say in the mysteries, "are the thyrsus bearers, but few are the mystics,"—meaning, as I interpret the words, the true philosophers.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
