“The history of the Roman Empire is also the history of the uprising of the Empire of the Masses, who absorb and annul the directing minorities and put themselves in their place. Then, also, is produced the phenomenon of agglomeration, of "the full." For that reason, as Spengler has very well observed, it was necessary, just as in our day, to construct enormous buildings. The epoch of the masses is the epoch of the colossal.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice.”
Following the Equator • Mark Twain“Remember this, then, that this little compound, thyself, must either be dissolved, or thy poor breath must be extinguished, or be removed and placed elsewhere.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius“The most comprehensive formulation of therapeutic goals is the striving for wholeheartedness: to be without pretense, to be emotionally sincere, to be able to put the whole of oneself into one's feelings, one's work, one's beliefs.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“Our souls, shame-wounded by our sins, cling to us yet more, a woman to her lover clinging, the more the more.”
Ulysses • James Joyce
