“بالنسبة لسقراط من المستحيل أن يكون الإنسان سعيدا اذا تصرف على عكس قناعاته.و الذي يعرف الصواب يفعل الصواب .اذا من هو الإنسان الذي يتمنى أن يكون بائسا؟ و أنت ما رأيك بذلك؟ هل يمكن أن تكوني سعيدة اذا كنت تفعلين دائما ما تشعرين في أعماقك بأنه غير صحيح ؟هناك من يمضون أوقاتهم في السرقة و الكذب و النميمة و الافتراء على الآخرين.ألا تعتقدين انهم لا يعرفون في أعماقهم ان هذا سيء أو أنه غير مبرر عل الأقل أتعتقدين أن هذا يجعلهم سعداء ؟سقراط لم يكن يعتقد ذلك”

“A truly good book…teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down and commence living on its hint. When I read an indifferent book, it seems the best thing I can do, but the inspiring volume hardly leaves me leisure to finish its latter pages. It is slipping out of my fingers while I read…What I began by reading I must finish by acting.”

“OUr teachers at LT&C had their A levels and the odd teaching certificate. It is astonishing how a black crepe robe worn over a coat or blouse gives a Cockney punter or a Covent Garden flower girl the gravitas of an Oxford don. Accent be damned in Africa, as long as it's foreign and you have the right skin colour.”
