“In Plato's time, dialectics was a debating technique subject to precise rules. A "thesis" was proposed-an interrogative proposition such as: Can virtue be taught? One of the two interlocutors attacked the thesis; the other defended it. The former attacked by interrogating-that is, he asked the defender skillfully chosen questions with the aim of forcing him to admit the contradictory of the thesis he wanted to defend. The interrogator had no thesis, and this was why Socrates was in the habit of playing that role.”
― Pierre Hadot

“Can a smile be deceiving enough?
You see that laugh and assume everything is alright.
Can words of sympathy be genuine enough?
You listen to the sweet words and perceive they're actually being empathetic.
Can a hug be warm enough?
You're being held to show as if they'll never let you go.
Can tearful eyes be enough to fall into?
You'd always be their centre of attention and they'll never look away.
Can the presence of anybody be enough?
You’d be assured that their absence you'll never be tested with.
Can rain or sunlight be an alternative for human existence?
Just so when you'll be deprived, nature will be there to heal you!”

“This was why love was so dangerous. Love turn the whole world into a garden, so beguiling it was easy to forget that rose petals were as ephemeral as feelings, eventually they would wilt and die, leaving nothing but the thorns.”

“Stoicism, understood properly, is a cure for a disease. The disease in question is the anxiety, grief, fear, and various other negative emotions that plague humans and prevent them from experiencing a joyful existence.”
― William B. Irvine, A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy
