“Η πρώτη κραυγή του ανθρώπου είναι κλάμα. Αποκεί και πέρα οι άνθρωποι ή παραμένουν άνθρωποι και κλαίνε, ή γίνονται τέρατα και κάνουν τους άλλους να κλαίνε.”
― Menelaos Lountemis

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“Segui il tuo corso et lascia dir les genti
(Follow your road and let the people say)”
― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso

“If civilization has got the better of barbarism when barbarism had the world to itself, it is too much to profess to be afraid lest barbarism, after having been fairly got under, should revive and conquer civilization. A civilization that can thus succumb to its vanquished enemy, must first have become so degenerate, that neither its appointed priests and teachers, nor anybody else, has the capacity, or will take the trouble, to stand up for it. If this be so, the sooner such a civilization receives notice to quit, the better. It can only go on from bad to worse, until destroyed and regenerated (like the Western Empire) by energetic barbarians.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
