Bertrand Russell
“The slave is doomed to worship Time and Fate and Death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour. But, great as they are, to think of them greatly, to feel their passionless splendour, is greater still. And such thought makes us free men; we no longer bow before the inevitable in Oriental subjection, but we absorb it, and make it a part of ourselves.”
Bertrand Russell, Mysticism and Logic

Diogenes of Sinope
“Alexander the Great found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave.”
Diogenes

Gautama Buddha
“You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.”
Siddhārtha Gautama

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Music is the melody whose text is the world.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Blaise Pascal
“I would prefer an intelligent hell to a stupid paradise.”
Blaise Pascal
