“All men are made one for another: either then teach them better, or bear with them.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn?”
Pride and Prejudice • Jane Austen“The nineteenth century, utilitarian throughout, set up a utilitarian interpretation of the phenomenon of life which has come down to us and may still be considered as the commonplace of everyday thinking. … An innate blindness seems to have closed the eyes of this epoch to all but those facts which show life as a phenomenon of utility”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Tell me thy company, and I'll tell thee what thou art.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck
