“The slow stone metamorphoses filled him with longing—longing for what? Simplicity? Was simplicity the true nature of homegoing? The simple harmonies, earth order and abundance. In this churchyard in a woodland meadow at the end of a white road, he missed what he had never known, the peace of living one day then another in communion with others of one’s blood and at the end, at the close of one’s works and days, to draw that last breath and come to rest in earth where one’s bones belonged.”
― Peter Matthiessen, Shadow Country

“Most people, when they are set upon looking into other people's affairs, never turn to examine themselves.”
― Xenophon, Conversations of Socrates

“Nobody can hate man more than man.”
― Karel Čapek, R.U.R.

“Just imagine the silence in the world, if people talked only what they knew”
― Karel Čapek
