Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““Let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened:—Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets.””
Republic • Plato“The healthy man does not torture others -- generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.”
Return to the Simple Life • Carl Gustav Jung““An honorable man does not throw a stone into the well where he quenches his thirst!””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf““Friendships that are obtained by payments, and not by greatness or nobility of mind, may indeed be earned, but they are not secured.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli
