Laws directed against opinions affect the generous-minded rather than the wicked, and are adapted less for coercing criminals than for irritating the upright.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things. For if a man says that the lines which are drawn from the centre of the circle to the circumference are not equal, he understands by the circle, at all events for the time, something else than mathematicians understand by it.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.
Baruch Spinoza
