Socrates was as far from being handsome as even a philosopher can be.

It’s sort of curious how Socrates’ physical appearance has been a topic of conversation for 2,500 years. Durant is a good writer. Good book.

“If Strunk and White's The Elements of Style and Stephen King's On Writing had a baby, this would be it.”
Ann Handley, Everybody Writes: Your Go-To Guide to Creating Ridiculously Good Content

Tan Twan Eng
“I realize that there are fragments of my life that I do not want to lose, if only because I still have not found the knot to tie them up with.”
Tan Twan Eng, The Garden of Evening Mists

Neel Mukherjee
“A woman’s child died. She was very sad and crying, all the time. She went to the Buddha and said, “Buddha, Buddha, please bring my son back to life.” And she was crying, crying. So the Buddha said to her, “Go bring me some mustard seeds from a house in which there has been no death ever and I’ll bring your son alive.” So the woman went around from house to house, begging for mustard seeds, crying. But she couldn’t find a single house in which there hadn’t been a death. For days she went looking and crying but no one could give her those seeds. So she returned to the Buddha, fell at his feet and said, ‘I couldn’t find the mustard seeds. Every house I went to has had a death in it. What will happen now?’ The Buddha said, ‘I asked you to do the impossible. Every mortal is marked by death. No one can escape it. That is why you couldn’t find a death-free home. This was my lesson to you –death is universal, all of us have to die.”
Neel Mukherjee, The Lives of Others

Siddhartha Mukherjee
“The crucial driver of evolution, Darwin understood, was not nature’s sense of purpose, but her sense of humor).”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Gene: An Intimate History

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“There are plenty of good reasons for fighting,” I said, “but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too. Where’s evil? It’s that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It’s that part of every man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive. “It’s that part of an imbecile,” I said, “that punishes and vilifies and makes war gladly.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night
