Marcus Aurelius
“The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Marcus Aurelius
“Things of themselves cannot touch the soul at all. They have no entry to the soul, and cannot turn or move it. The soul alone turns and moves itself, making all externals presented to it cohere with the judgements it thinks worthy of itself.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Margaret Atwood
“War is what happens when language fails.”
Margaret Atwood

Julian Jaynes
“All of these concrete metaphors increase enormously our powers of perception of the world about us and our understanding of it, and literally create new objects. Indeed, language is an organ of perception, not simply a means of communication.”
Julian Jaynes, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind

Robert M. Pirsig
“But to tear down a factory or to revolt against a government or to avoid repair of a motorcycle because it is a system is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is upon effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government. There’s so much talk about the system. And so little understanding.”
Robert M Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
