Quote by Diogenes of Sinope

“A philosopher named Aristippus, who had quite willingly sucked up to Dionysus and won himself a spot at his court, saw Diogenes cooking lentils for a meal. "If you would only learn to compliment Dionysus, you wouldn't have to live on lentils." Diogenes replied, "But if you would only learn to live on lentils, you wouldn't have to flatter Dionysus.”

“Will seeing me be a problem?” While there’s this overwhelming voice screaming yes in the back of my mind, there’s a smile twisting on my face and I bring my hands together in front of me, feeling suddenly shy. Did he just say...? “So we’re seeing each other?” Isaiah touches an earring. “Yeah. I guess we are.” My head bobs back and forth because I so need more. “Like more than friends?” “We can be friends if you want. But...” “But what?” My stomach begins to plummet. Did I misread all of this? His gray eyes bore into mine with an intensity I’ve never seen from anyone before. “But I want more.” “More?” I whisper. “I want to kiss you again.”

“Maadui ni wazuri kuliko marafiki na mashabiki ni wazuri kuliko maadui. Maadui wanakusaidia kujua wewe ni nani na kwa nini uko hapa. Ukishajua wewe ni nani na kwa nini uko hapa, hakuna mtu atakayekuzuia kufanya chochote unachokiamini zaidi na kukifanya. Chochote unachokiamini zaidi na kukifanya ndicho Mungu alichokupangia kufanya hapa duniani, na kwa sababu hiyo utapata maadui. Ili utoke lazima uwe na mashabiki, marafiki na maadui.”
