His Autistic Quirks And Eyes Blue Like The Cleanest Of Lakes Have Captivated Me

“Someone might say: “Are you not ashamed, Socrates, to have followed the kind of occupation that has led to your being now in danger of death?” However, I should be right to reply to him: “You are wrong, sir, if you think that a man who is any good at all should take into account the risk of life or death; he should look to this only in his actions, whether what he does is right or wrong, whether he is acting like a good or a bad man.””

— Socrates, in Plato’s Apology

AND OFF THEY WENT, FROM HERE TO THERE, THE BEAR, THE BEAR, AND THE MAIDEN FAIR.

When a person can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.

Viktor Frankl

“Do you think that every good thing has always had a good conscience? — Science, which is certainly something good, entered the world without one, and quite destitute of pathos, but did so rather in secret, by crooked and indirect paths, hooded or masked like a criminal and at least always with the feeling of dealing in contraband. The good conscience has as a preliminary stage the bad conscience — the latter is not its opposite: for everything good was once new, consequently unfamiliar, contrary to custom, immoral, and gnawed at the heart of its fortunate inventor like a worm.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, Assorted Opinions and Maxims, 90
