On Crimes and Punishments by Cesare Beccaria

>Crimes of every kind should be less frequent, in proportion to the evil they produce to society ... If an equal punishment be ordained for two crimes that injure society in different degrees, there is nothing to deter men from committing the greater as often as it is attended with greater advantage.

>the war of a nation against a citizen ... It appears absurd to me that the laws, which are the expression of the public will and which detest and punish homicide, commit murder themselves, and in order to dissuade citizens from assassination, commit public assassination.

It's another day of inner turmoil when I find myself wishing to own a farm and spend my days planting, shepherding a flock and resting in the shade of a tree by a stream of running water.

>He's not that influential
That's a pretty dry statement
>He didn't even exist
The Homeric question is fairly recent

Maybe some ambient or white noise when it's noisy outside but usually I don't .

I remember reading The Hobbit while listening to some Dungeon Synth years ago, it was fun.
