H.L. Mencken
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
H.L. Mencken, Prejudices First Series

“Real understanding of any scientific subject must include some knowledge of its historical growth; we cannot comprehend and accept modern concepts and theories without knowing something of their origins - of how we have got where we are. Neglect of this maxim can lead to that unfortunate state of mind which regard the science of the day as finality.”
Colin Cherry, On Human Communication: A Review, a Survey, and a Criticism

Richard  Adams
“A thing can be true and still be desperate folly, Hazel.”
Richard Adams, Watership Down

James Hillman
“To hope for nothing, to expect nothing, to demand nothing. This is analytical despair.”
James Hillman, Suicide and the Soul

Erwin Schrödinger
“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.”
Erwin Schrödinger
