“Socrates. Life, my good friend, is hard for you to understand because you are still living. Here we understand it. Not every passion pursues a bubble; not every treasury is empty. But living impulse, borne as it needs must be on its own wings, cannot distinguish; it cannot foresee the end, so as to push on where success is promised, and halt in time where it is denied.”
Santayana’s philosophical essays presented as a series of imagined dialogues between Greek philosophers and Gods.
