“There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.”
― Hippocrates

“The terror of being judged sharpens the memory: it sends an inevitable glare over that long-unvisited past which has been habitually recalled only in general phrases. Even without memory, the life is bound into one by a zone of dependence in growth and decay; but intense memory forces a man to own his blameworthy past. With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavors and the tinglings of a merited shame.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch

“Wisdom.... comes not from age, but from education and learning.”
― Anton Chekhov

“Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.”
― Socrates
