These are quotes that I though notable. The idea came from Mr. Frogs page. These are quotes I have come across in my life, but I will not be cross referencing them with our frog friends list. This list is also very new.

Quotes from Books

Screwtape letters

For the present is the point at which time touches eternity

- Clive Staples Lewis

Brothers Karamazov

To love someone is to see them how god truly intended.

- Fydor Dostoevsky

The Myth of Sisyphus

The Principal can be established that for a man who does not cheat, what he believes to be true must determine his actions.

Its always easy to be logical. its almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end.

The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

- Albert Camus

Apology

Although I do not suppose that either of us knows anything really beautiful and good, I am better off than he is – for he knows nothing, and thinks he knows. I neither know nor think I know.

- Socrates

The Kingdom of God Is Within You

[Non-resistance to evil] can be put into practice like every virtue enjoined by the law of God. A virtue cannot be practiced in all circumstances without self-sacrifice, privation, suffering, and in extreme cases loss of life itself. But he who esteems life more than fulfilling the will of God is already dead to the only true life. Trying to save his life he loses it. Besides, generally speaking, where non-resistance costs the sacrifice of a single life or of some material welfare, resistance costs a thousand such sacrifices.

- Lev Tolstoy
