“These are just a few samples; for more quotes from this work, see Crime and Punishment”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“ "The essence of the Agricultural Revolution: the ability to keep more people alive under worse conditions.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“ "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Let an understanding man imagine human nature originally produced without the sense of sight, and consider what ignorance and trouble such a defect would bring upon him, what a darkness and blindness in the soul; he will then see by that of how great importance to the knowledge of truth would be the privation of such another sense, or of two or three, should we be so deprived.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“And are not the temperate exactly in the same case? They are temperate because they are intemperate—which may seem to be a contradiction, but is nevertheless the sort of thing which happens with this foolish temperance. For there are pleasures which they must have, and are afraid of losing; and therefore they abstain from one class of pleasures because they are overcome by another: and whereas intemperance is defined as "being under the domination of pleasure," they overcome only because they are overcome by pleasure.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
