“One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”
― Plato

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be
The candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
― Edith Wharton

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
― Socrates
