"The name of the Sphragitic nymphs presents something of a mystery. Sphragidion, the name of the cave, derives from the word sphragis, “seal” or “signet ring.” The same word is used in enigmatic fashion by Theognis, who speaks of placing a “seal” upon his utterances lest they be stolen or altered." — 17 hours, 41 min ago

Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”

“At every period of history, people have believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you risked ostracism or even violence by saying otherwise. If our own time were any different, that would be remarkable. As far as I can tell it isn't.”

“Aesthetic criticism returns us to the autonomy of imaginative literature and the sovereignty of the solitary soul, the reader not as a person in society but as the deep self, our ultimate inwardness.”
