|  The usual picture of Socrates is of an ugly little plebeian who inspired a handsome young nobleman to write long dialogues on large topics. | | Always strive to excel, but only on weekends. | | The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that. | | The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial. | | Truth is simply a compliment paid to sentences seen to be paying their way. | | There is nothing deep down inside us except what we have put there ourselves. |
