“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile — hoping it will eat him last.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“I think that one should view with philosophic admiration the strange paths of the libido and should investigate the purposes of its circuitous ways.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung“arguments and unhappiness, and when anger overcame me at such times, I was a terror, doing and saying things whose vileness I felt deeply and painfully at the very moment I did”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Certainly the prolonged education indispensable to the progress of Society is not natural to mankind. It cuts against the grain. A boy would like to follow his father in pursuit of food or prey. He would like to be doing serviceable things so far as his utmost strength allowed. He would like to be earning wages however small to help to keep up the home. He would like to have some leisure of his own to use or misuse as he pleased. He would ask little more than the right to work or starve. And then perhaps in the evenings a real love of learning would come to those who are worthy – and why try to stuff in those who are not? – and knowledge and thought would open the ‘magic casements’ of the mind.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Thou wine art the friend of the friendless, though a foe to all.”
Mardi • Herman Melville
