hubris, humility, quotes

The moment someone starts talking about dualism, good vs evil, black vs white, female vs male, that’s the moment you need to stand up and leave the party.
― Yeva Anoush

Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama; fathers and sons, martyred heroes, star-crossed lovers, the deaths of kings ― stories that taught us of the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility.
―Tom Hiddleston

We have no language that is free of the power dualisms of domination.
― Beverly Wildung Harrison

Carved on the temple [at Delphi] were the exhortation Know yourself … You are only human, so don’t try more than you are able (or you will pay the price). A recurring theme in Greek myth is the man or woman who loses sight of human limitations and acts arrogantly and with violence against forces he or she can never control, as if they too are immortal. And they always pay a terrible price.
― Barry B. Powell

You never really learn much from hearing yourself speak.
― George Clooney
