“When... in the course of all these thousands of years has man ever acted in accordance with his own interests?”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“Let me say to begin with: It is not neurotic to have conflict ... Conflicts within ourselves are an integral part of human life.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“Against boredom even the gods struggle in vain.”
The Antichrist • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“He didn't at all see why the busy bee should be proposed as a model to him; he supposed the Bee liked to make honey, or he wouldn't do it -- nobody asked him. It was not necessary for the bee to make such a merit of his tastes.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens“Rational behavior ... depends upon a ceaseless flow of data from the environment. It depends upon the power of the individual to predict, with at least a fair success, the outcome of his own actions. To do this, he must be able to predict how the environment will respond to his acts. Sanity, itself, thus hinges on man's ability to predict his immediate, personal future on the basis of information fed him by the environment.”
Future Shock • Alvin Toffler
