The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. ―Anne Frank

(Albert Einstein)

Meno: Parece-me que gosto do que dizes.
Sócrates: E eu, Meno, gosto do que digo. Algumas coisas disse em relação às quais não me sinto muito confiante. Mas que seremos melhores e mais corajosos e menos indefesos se pensarmos que devemos inquirir do que se formos auto-indulgentes e nos deixarmos levar pela noção de que não há conhecimento e que não vale a pena buscar saber o que não se sabe; _ esse é um assunto pelo qual estou disposto a lutar, com palavras e acções, com todas as minhas forças.
--de "Menon" por Platão
‘Once free speech is made contingent on no one’s feelings being hurt, we no longer have free speech.' (Andrew Sullivan)

There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
