"No one finds fault with defects which..." - Quote by Aristotle

“Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.”

“Demonstration is also something necessary, because a demonstration cannot go otherwise than it does, ... And the cause of this lies with the primary premises/principles.”

“One cannot say of something that it is and that it is not in the same respect at the same time.”

“Nature refuses to sympathize with our sorrow. She seems not to have provided for, but by a thousand contrivances against it.”

“With this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature. for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature.”

“The young are heated by Nature as drunken men by wine.”

“To remain stable is to refrain from trying to separate yourself from a pain because you know that you cannot. Running away from fear is fear, fighting pain is pain, trying to be brave is being scared. If the mind is in pain, the mind is pain. The thinker has no other form than his thought. There is no escape.”

“Only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens; but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all.”

“This was all he wanted now. Some signs that the immense world would accept him and give him the long time he needed to think all the things that must be thought.”
