"They ought to be gentle to their..." - Quote by Plato

“The makers of fortunes have a second love of money as a creation of their own, resembling the affection of authors for their own poems, or of parents for their children, besides that natural love of it for the sake of use and profit.”

“If there is no contradictory impression, there is nothing to awaken reflection”

“We understand why children are afraid of darkness ... but why are men afraid of light?”

“For a love to grow through the test of everyday living, one must respect that zone of privacy where one retires to relate to the inside instead of the outside.”

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.”

“Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I believe so. A love like that can grow to be nine-tenths hatred and still call itself love.”

“No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.”

“We walk alone in the world. Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables.”

“Strangers are just friends waiting to happen. To become a good man, one must have faithful friends, or outright enemies.”
