"The coward calls the brave man rash,..." - Quote by Aristotle

“Wickedness is nourished by lust.”

“It is the activity of the intellect that constitutes complete human happiness - provided it be granted a complete span of life, for nothing that belongs to happiness can be incomplete.”

“We must not feel a childish disgust at the investigations of the meaner animals. For there is something marvelous in all natural things.”

“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall with our English dead.”

“Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour's at the stake.”

“My work is to be honest. My work is to try to think clearly, then have the courage to make sure that what I say is the truth.”

“In those days, when my hands were much employed, I read but little, but the least scraps of paper which lay on the ground, my holder, or tablecloth, afforded me as much entertainment, in fact answered the same purpose as the Iliad.”

“But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him; the horror was that he might also be wrong.”

“You believe that reality is something objective, external, existing in its own right. You also believe that the nature of reality is self-evident. When you delude yourself into thinking that you see something, you assume that everyone else sees the same thing as you. But I tell you, Winston, that reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Paty, which is collective and immortal.”
