Plato
“I am better off than he is,—for he knows nothing, and thinks that he knows; I neither know nor think that I know.”
Plato, Five Dialogues

Clara Benson
“uncomfortably conscious that women of her age did not generally hide in cupboards drinking whisky”
Clara Benson, The Incident at Fives Castle

Eckhart Tolle
“You say that an emotion is the mind’s reflection in the body. But sometimes there is a conflict between the two: the mind says “no” while the emotion says “yes,” or the other way around. If you really want to know your mind, the body will always give you a truthful reflection, so look at the emotion, or rather feel it in your body. If there is an apparent conflict between them, the thought will be the lie, the emotion will be the truth. Not the ultimate truth of who you are, but the relative truth of your state of mind at that time. Conflict between surface thoughts and unconscious mental processes is certainly common. You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware.”
Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

Carolyn Kizer
“What is so marvelous about living today is that it is possible to extend, like a flower, spreading petals in all directions.”
Carolyn Kizer

Clara Benson
“I set fire to his bed one night while he was in it. I’d be obliged if you wouldn’t mention that, though, as they never found out who did it, but the police got involved and things were rather unpleasant at school for a while.”
Clara Benson, The Incident at Fives Castle
