Socrates
“When you want wisdom and insight as badly as you want to breathe, it is then you shall have it.”
Socrates

Jorge Luis Borges
“Being an agnostic means all things are possible, even God, even the Holy Trinity. This world is so strange that anything may happen, or may not happen. Being an agnostic makes me live in a larger, a more fantastic kind of world, almost uncanny. It makes me more tolerant.”
Jorge Luis Borges

J. Robert Oppenheimer
“When we deny the EVIL within ourselves, we dehumanize ourselves, and we deprive ourselves not only of our own destiny but of any possibility of dealing with the EVIL of others.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer

Socrates
“I do believe that there are gods, and in a far higher sense than that in which any of my accusers believe in them.”
Socrates, Apology

Jorge Luis Borges
“When writers die they become books, which is, after all, not too bad an incarnation."

[As attributed by Alastair Reid in Neruda and Borges, The New Yorker, June 24, 1996; as well as in The Talk of the Town, The New Yorker, July 7, 1986]”
Jorge Luis Borges
