Plato
“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.”
Plato, The Republic

Alexandre Dumas
“There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.....the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
tags: life

John Steinbeck
“Money does not change the sickness, only the symptoms.”
John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

Charles M. Schulz
“Those dreams I have at night are going to drive me crazy. Last night I dreamed that little red-haired girl and I were eating lunch together... But she's gone... She's moved away, and I don't know where she lives, and she doesn't know I even exist, and I'll never see her again... And... I wish men cried...”
Charles M. Schulz, The Complete Peanuts, 1969–1970

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature
