Anton Chekhov
“A hungry dog believes in nothing but meat.”
Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard

Bertrand Russell
“One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it.”
Bertrand Russell, Why I Am Not a Christian and Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects

Simone de Beauvoir
“Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day. The housewife wears herself out marking time: she makes nothing, simply perpetuates the present … Eating, sleeping, cleaning – the years no longer rise up towards heaven, they lie spread out ahead, gray and identical. The battle against dust and dirt is never won.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

Paulo Freire
“Whoever teaches learns in the act of teaching, and whoever learns teaches in the act of learning.”
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Freedom: Ethics, Democracy, and Civic Courage

Edmund Burke
“Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field.”
Edmund Burke
