Text Quotes
Chaos does not mean total disorder. Chaos means a multiplicity of possibilities. Chaos is from the ancient Greek words that means a thing that is birthed from the void. And it was about that which is possible, not about disorder  (Ancient Greek Quotes) The Greek people not only relate to the ancient traditions, they have fought, they have shed blood, until recently, to defend the values of democracy and freedom.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Hard. That was what he looked like. That was what you first noticed about him: a hard, chiselled face, like that that of some ancient Greek statue.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) In addition to English, at least one ancient language, probably Greek or Hebrew, and two modern languages would be required.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) There is one bit of advice given us by the ancient Greeks, and by the Jews in the Old Testament, and by the great Christian teachers of the Middle Ages, which the modern economic system has completely disobeyed. All these people told us not to lend money at interest; and lending money at interest - what we call investment - is the basis of our whole system.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) I would love with all my heart to be able to speak Greek, classical or modern or both. It is a beautiful language, both aurally and in terms of the intricacy of its construction. I took four semesters of Ancient Greek in college, but it’s all rusted away now - and I never learned to speak it anyway.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Again, if there are really no fairies, why do people believe in them, all over the world? The ancient Greeks believed, so did the old Egyptians, and the Hindoos, and the Red Indians, and is it likely, if there are no fairies, that so many different peoples would have seen and heard them?  (Ancient Greek Quotes) I work in an old tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks. You hold a mirror to crime to see what’s happening in society. I could never write a crime story just for the sake of it, because I always want to talk about certain things in society.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Catharsis comes from the ancient Greek word...which literally translated means ‘to pass a hard stool’  (Ancient Greek Quotes) It’s a shame to be called educated those who do not study the ancient Greek writers  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Kant does represents a distinctively modern view of the human condition in contrast to that of ancient high culture, found in ancient Greek ethics and also in ancient Chinese ethics.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) The ancient philosophers, Chinese, Hindu, Persian, and Greek, were a class than which none has been poorer in outward riches, none so rich inward.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) I believe in logic, the sequence of cause and effect, and in science its only begotten son our law, which was conceived by the ancient Greeks, thrived under Isaac Newton, suffered under Albert Einstein... That fragment of a ‘creed for materialism’ which a friend in college had once shown him rose through Donald’s confused mind.  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Yiddish is the voice of exile, the tongue of ghettos, but I’ll shed a tear when it joins ancient Greek and dead Latin. For gossip and insult, you can’t beat Yiddish  (Ancient Greek Quotes) It’s no secret that I’ve always had an interest in mythology. Whether it’s Arthurian or ancient Greek or even Marvel universe. I’ve always connected with it on some level  (Ancient Greek Quotes) The ancient Greeks did not have to wrestle with the philosophical problem of the existence of evil. They did not claim their gods were good, just magnificent  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Philosophy is at its most engaged when it is impure. What is being recovered from the Ancient Greek model is not some lost idea of philosophy’s pure essence, but the idea that philosophy is mixed up with everything else  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Sometimes bad luck hits you like in an ancient Greek tragedy, and it’s not your own making. When you have a plane crash, it’s not your fault  (Ancient Greek Quotes) I sometimes wonder if the hand is not more sensitive to the beauties of sculpture than the eye. I should think the wonderful rhythmical flow of lines and curves could be more subtly felt than seen. Be this as it may, I know that I can feel the heart-throbs of the ancient Greeks in their marble gods and goddesses  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Few of the great works of ancient Greek literature are easy reading  (Ancient Greek Quotes) To the ancient Greeks the word, dikaiosini, justice was often synonymous with ekdikisis, vengeance  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Strangers used to gather together at the cinema and sit together in the dark, like Ancient Greeks participating in the mysteries, dreaming the same dream in unison  (Ancient Greek Quotes) The ancient Greek oral poets all had this anxiety about the deficiencies of their memories and always began poems by praying to the Muse to help them remember  (Ancient Greek Quotes) The ancient Greeks were the first ones to say an unexamined life is not worth living. They don’t tell you of course what we found out, an examined life not that fascinating either  (Ancient Greek Quotes) The ancient Greeks, as Plato reports, believed that we discover truth through reminiscence, that is by remembering, by intuitively searching into our own experience  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners  (Ancient Greek Quotes) Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight  (Ancient Greek Quotes)
