“Freedom, Truth, Honour you could rattle off a hundred such words and behind every one of them would gather a thousand punks, pompous little farts, waving the banner with one hand and reaching under the table with the other.” LittlesHandsBehindsThousandHundredTablesReachingHonourPunkBannerFartPompousGonzoHonour You Book:The Rum Diary: A Novel Source: The Rum Diary: A Novel
“But if anyone were to conduct his life by reason He would find great riches in living a peaceful life And being contented; one is never short of a little But men want always to be powerful and famous So that their fortune rests on a solid foundation And they can spend a placid life in opulence. There isn't a hope of it; to attain great honours You have to struggle along a dangerous way And even when you reach the top there is envy Which can strike you down like lightning into Tartarus. For envy, like lightning, generally strikes at the top Or any point which sticks out from the ordinary level.” IfsMenWayWantLittlesReasonLevelsPowerfulStruggleDangerousOrdinaryFoundationSticksFortuneEnvyRichesStrikesPeacefulHonourLightningPeaceful LifePlacidSolid FoundationOpulenceTartarusHonour You Book:De rerum natura Source: De rerum natura
