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

Gilles Deleuze
“If you're trapped in the dream of the Other, you're fucked.”
Gilles Deleuze

Jaroslav Hašek
“All along the line,' said the volunteer, pulling the blanket over him, 'everything in the army stinks of rottenness. Up till now the wide-eyed masses haven't woken up to it. With goggling eyes they let themselves be made into mincemeat and then when they're struck by a bullet they just whisper, "Mummy!" Heroes don't exist, only cattle for the slaughter and the butchers in the general staffs. But in the end every body will mutiny and there will be a fine shambles. Long live the army! Goodnight!”
Jaroslav Hašek, The Good Soldier Švejk

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

Richard  Adams
“Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it.”
Richard Adams, Watership Down
