"So I should say that civilizations begin with religion and stoicism: they end with scepticism and unbelief and the undisciplined pursuit of individual pleasure. A civilization is born stoic and dies epicurean."
"The love we have in our youth is superficial compared to the love that an old man has for his old wife."
"There are not many things finer in our murderous species than this noble curiosity, this restless and reckless passion to understand."
