“Law intends indeed to do service to human life, but it is not able when men do not choose to accept her services; for it is only in those who are obedient to her that she displays her special virtue.”
Fragment • Epictetus““Admission of ignorance is often the first step in our education.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“It takes more courage to make an end than to make a new verse: all physicians and poets know that.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“I have no objection to any person's religion, be it what it may, so long as that person does not kill or insult any other person, because that other person don't believe it also. But when a man's religion becomes really frantic; when it is a positive torment to him; and, in fine, makes this earth of ours an uncomfortable inn to lodge in; then I think it high time to take that individual aside and argue the point with him.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski
