“Aristotle and Ayn Rand on the Nature and Art of Friendship”
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear.”
—Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“If you do not ask the right questions, you do not get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer.”
—Edward Hodnett, The Art of Problem Solving
