Karl Popper
“What a monument of human smallness is this idea of the philosopher king. What a contrast between it and the simplicity of humaneness of Socrates, who warned the statesmen against the danger of being dazzled by his own power, excellence, and wisdom, and who tried to teach him what matters most — that we are all frail human beings.”
Karl R. Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies

George Orwell
“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
George Orwell, 1984

Voltaire
“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”
Voltaire

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

Karl Popper
“Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell.”
Karl R. Popper
