Curiosity is one of the best things in life, a deep shame cast upon those who attempt to vilify it.

Actually he was given a choice of being ostracized for ten years or death. He chose death saying that being sent away from Athens would be worse than death. Having visited Athens a few times I can't say I disagree with him.

"The true genius nearly always intrudes and disturbs. He speaks to a temporal world out of a world eternal. He says the wrong things at the right time. Eternal truths are never true at any given moment in history...Yet the genius is the healer of his time, because anything he reveals of eternal truth is healing." - Carl Jung

one of my favorite statues is the Thinker. I didn't know that Socrates was a stonecutter until now.
