“One might expect, perhaps, that a man full of genius could pasture in the greatness of his own thoughts, and renounce the cheap approbation of the crowd which he despises; yet he succumbs to the more powerful impulse of the herd instinct. His searching and his finding, his call, belong to the herd.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung“What a frightening thing is the human, a mass of gauges and dials and registers, and we can read only a few and those perhaps not accurately.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck““I see that you think more than you can express. But, if that’s the case, you must also know that you have never fully lived out your thoughts, and that isn’t good. Only the thoughts that we live out have any value. You knew that your ‘permissible world’ was only half the world, and you tried to hide away the second half from yourself, the way clergymen and teachers do. You won’t succeed! No one can do that when he has once begun to think.””
Demian • Hermann Hesse“There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”
Following the Equator • Mark Twain“Pavel Petrovich had grown to hate Bazarov with all the strength of his soul.”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev
