Reading for the 2nd time
read in June 2013
“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
―
―
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
―
―
“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all.”
―
―
“A friend to all is a friend to none.”
―
―
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
