“This may be fancy, though I think the memory of most of us can go farther back into such times than many of us suppose; just as I believe the power of observation in numbers of very young children to be quite wonderful for its closeness and accuracy. Indeed, I think that most grown men who are remarkable in this respect, may with greater propriety be said not to have lost the faculty, than to have acquired it; the rather, as I generally observe such men to retain a certain freshness, and gentleness, and capacity of being pleased, which are also an inheritance they have preserved from their childhood.”
― Charles Dickens, David Copperfield

“Thoughts that have important consequences are always simple. All my thinking could be summed up with these words: "Since corrupt people unite amongst themselves to constitute a force, then honest people must do the same." It's as simple as that.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“The trip doesn’t exist that can set you beyond the reach of cravings, fits of temper, or fears … so long as you carry the sources of your troubles about with you, those troubles will continue to harass and plague you wherever you wander on land or on sea. Does it surprise you that running away doesn’t do you any good? The things you’re running away from are with you all the time.”
― Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“Is man a mere machine made of metal that he should
function in strict accordance with rules? So vast and varied
is the mind of man, so many its hunger and so diverse its
claims that it must now and again swerve and reel and
toss. This, indeed, is what makes man human; the proof
that he lives, the refutation that he is not a mere bundle of
matter. One who has never known the turbulence of life,
in whom the petals of the mysterious flower within have
not opened, such a one may seem happy, may seem a
saint, his single-track mind may impress the multitude
with its power, but he is ill-equipped for the life's true
adventure into the infinite.”
― Rabindranath Tagore
