““The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“In our day the feeling of patriotism is an unnatural, irrational, and harmful feeling, and a cause of a great part of the ills from which mankind is suffering; and ... consequently, this feeling should not be cultivated, as is now being done, but should, on the contrary, be suppressed and eradicated by all means available to rational men.”
Essays and Letters • Leo Tolstoy“The conception of what is normal varies not only with the culture but also within the same culture, in the course of time.”
The Neurotic Personality Of Our Time • Karen Horney“What good men most biologists are, the tenors of the scientific world — temperamental, moody, lecherous, loud-laughing, and healthy. Your true biologist will sing you a song as loud and off-key as will a blacksmith, for he knows that morals are too often diagnostic of prostatitis and stomach ulcers. Sometimes he may proliferate a little too much in all directions, but he is as easy to kill as any other organism, and meanwhile he is very good company, and at least he does not confuse a low hormone productivity with moral ethics.”
The Log from the sea of Cortez • John Steinbeck“The past will not tell us what we ought to do, but... what we ought to avoid.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset
