"Finished reading Volume 1. This volume divided into four sections: Addresses at the parliament of religions, Karma-Yoga, Raja-Yoga and some Lectures and discourses. I found the Karma-Yoga especially relevant. Among the discourses the one on Reason and Religion is very insightful." Nov 24, 2020 10:23AM

Book cover for Third class in Indian railways
And no scheme of self-government, however benevolently or generously it may be bestowed upon us, will ever make us a self-governing nation, if we have no respect for the languages our mothers speak.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“You talk nonsense and are pleased with it; you say impudent things and are in continual alarm and apologizing for them. You declare that you are afraid of nothing and at the same time try to ingratiate yourself in our good opinion. You declare that you are gnashing your teeth and at the same time you try to be witty so as to amuse us. You know that your witticisms are not witty, but you are evidently well satisfied with their literary value. You may, perhaps, have really suffered, but you have no respect for your own suffering. You may have sincerity, but you have no modesty; out of the pettiest vanity you expose your sincerity to publicity and ignominy. You doubtlessly mean to say something, but hide your last word through fear, because you have not the resolution to utter it, and only have a cowardly impudence. You boast of consciousness, but you are not sure of your ground, for though your mind works, yet your heart is darkened and corrupt, and you cannot have a full, genuine consciousness without a pure heart. And how intrusive you are, how you insist and grimace! Lies, lies, lies!”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground

Blaise Pascal
“Man is neither angel nor brute, and the unfortunate thing is that he who would act the angel acts the brute.”
Blaise Pascal

Alan M. Turing
“Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine.”
Alan Turing

Thomas Sowell
“There are only two ways of telling the complete truth--anonymously and posthumously.”
Thomas Sowell

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
