Skovoroda

I discovered today this famous, but unknown, 18th century Ukranian poet and philosopher. He is considered by Ukrainians to be "their Socrates"

Anyway, here's a nice thought from Skovoroda:


"The world chased me but could not catch me."

~ Hryhori Skovoroda


He left that message on his grave stone.
