“An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.”
Histoire d'un crime • VICTOR HUGO“They’re afraid because they have never accepted themselves. A community consisting exclusively of people afraid of the unknown in themselves! They all feel that the rules they live by are no longer valid, that they’re following outdated commandments; neither their religions nor their morality, nothing is suited to what we need. For a century and more, Europe has done nothing but study and build factories! They know exactly how many grams of powder it takes to kill someone, but they don’t know how to pray to God, they don’t even know how to be contented for an hour at a time.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“And now that the hour of departure is appointed to me, this is the hope with which I depart, and not I only, but every man that believes that he has his mind purified.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“If there is no immortality, there is no virtue. ... Without God and immortal life? All things are lawful then, they can do what they like?”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”
Following the Equator • Mark Twain
