Ջոն (John Goolvart)

“If you, free as you are of every weight
had stayed below, then that would be as strange
as living flame on earth remaining still."

And then she turned her gaze up toward the heavens.”
― Dante Alighieri, Paradise

“For the fear of death is indeed the pretense of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being a pretense of knowing the unknown; and no one knows whether death, which men in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good. Is not this ignorance of a disgraceful sort, the ignorance which is the conceit that a man knows what he does not know? And in this respect only I believe myself to differ from men in general, and may perhaps claim to be wiser than they are:—that whereas I know but little of the world below, I do not suppose that I know: but I do know that injustice and disobedience to a better, whether God or man, is evil and dishonorable, and I will never fear or avoid a possible good rather than a certain evil.”
― Plato, The Trial and Death of Socrates

“You could not be born at a better period than the present, when we have lost everything.”
― Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

“Всегда удивляюсь тому, сколько слюны у простого народа.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Despair
