“Ideas are the source of all things”

“Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge. ”

“Friends have all things in common.”

“Must not all things at last be swallowed up in Death?”

“But Above all things truth beareth away the victory”

“It's not at all uncommon to find a person's desires compelling him to go against his reason, and to see him cursing himself and venting his passion on the source of the compulsion within him. It's as if there were two warring factions, with passion fighting on the side of reason. But I'm sure you won't claim that you had ever, in yourself or in anyone else, met a case of passion siding with his desires against the rational mind, when the rational mind prohibits resistance.”

“We are like people looking for something they have in their hands all the time; we're looking in all directions except at the thing we want, which is probably why we haven't found it.”
