Do you want to take a tour through time and go deep into the minds of the most influential philosophers of all humanity? If you want to immerse yourself in some words of wisdom from these great thinkers, then keep reading... 'It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it' - Aristotle I have been a deep thinker for as long as I can remember. I would continually question existence, identity, reality, ethics, politics, religion, metaphysics and everything in between. I've always found it fascinating to entertain those thoughts, but for the most part, could never share it with others as it can come off strange and intense to many who are not on the same 'wavelength'. Sound familiar? Realising that not a lot of others might think in the same exploratory way as me, I decided to look elsewhere to see if other thinkers of the past thought or shared similar ideas. Aristotle, Plato, Descartes to name a few; they all shared such a wise and unique way of thinking, with the continuous pursuit to challenge conventional knowledge and thought processes. Many of these philosophers were strong believers that you should always question everything. They believed that for one to become fully realised you must first begin to look inside and reflect on yourself and your thoughts. Do you sometimes find yourself deep in thought, feeling connected to a train of thought and your mind in a way that feels foreign but natural? Do you ever find yourself contemplating reality, the origins of ethics, or if our current social structure is the most efficient to society it can be? Through reading quotes we can travel through time and by practice of evaluation we can start connecting with how these thinkers thought. We can read a quote and resonate with it so deeply to the point it's as if we share the same experience as the quoter. This skill can be developed through this practice and has scientifically proven benefits such as increased critical thinking and information organisation.

40th anniversary edition of Richard Adams' picaresque saga about a motley band of rabbits - Watership Down is one of the most beloved novels of our time. Sandleford Warren is in danger.

The best story about wild animals since The Wind in the Willows. Very funny, exciting, often moving' Evening Standard 'A great book. A whole world is created, perfectly real in itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on human affairs' Guardian Richard Adams grew up in Berkshire, the son of a country doctor. After an education at Oxford, he spent six years in the army and then went into the Civil Service.
