"Aristotle dines when it seems good to..." - Quote by Diogenes

“Calumny is only the noise of madmen.”

“The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.”

“We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.”

“It is for no particular item in the tax-bill that I refuse to pay it. I simply wish to refuse allegiance to the State, to withdrawand stand aloof from it effectually. I do not care to trace the course of my dollar, if I could, till it buys a man or a musket to shoot one with,--the dollar is innocent,--but I am concerned to trace the effects of my allegiance. In fact, I quietly declare war with the State, after my fashion, though I will still make what use and get what advantage of her I can, as is usual in such cases.”

“If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.”

“Hang your merit. I don't seek anyone's approbation.”

“Break through the bonds of your past.”

“There's no one way to be creative. Any old way will work.”

“One thing is for sure-none of the arts flourishes on censorship and repression. And by this time it should be evident that the American public is capable of doing its own censoring.”
