“The distinguishing property of man is to search for and to follow after truth. Therefore, when relaxed from our necessary cares and concerns, we then covet to see, to hear, and to learn somewhat; and we esteem knowledge of things either obscure or wonderful to be the indispensable means of living happily. ”

On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Man is extraordinarily clever in preventing himself from being happy; it would seem that the less able he is to endure misfortune the more apt he is to attach himself to it.”

Journals • Andre Gide

“Every tradition grows ever more venerable - the more remote its origin, the more confused that origin is. The reverence due to it increases from generation to generation. The tradition finally becomes holy and inspires awe.”

Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

“To accept it without arrogance, to let it go with indifference. ”

Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius

“Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.”

Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl
