Slavoj Žižek
“The function of philosophy is to corrupt the youth, to alienate (or, rather, 'extraneate' in the sense of Brecht's verfremden) them from the predominant ideologico-political order, to sow radical doubts and enable them to think autonomously.”
Slavoj Žižek, Like A Thief In Broad Daylight: Power in the Era of Post-Human Capitalism

“A library is not a sign of accomplishment. It is a sign of desire.”
Jeffrey J. Kripal

Thomas Hobbes
“To which end we are to consider, that the Felicity of this life, consisteth not in the repose of a mind satisfied.”
Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan

Johann Gottfried Herder
“We see so much that we in fact see nothing, and we know so much that we no longer possess anything that is our own, that is to say, something we could not have learned, something that arises out of the virtues and errors of our own self.”
Johann Gottfried Herder

Aelred of Rievaulx
“Moreover, one should so respect a friend's presence that he dare not perform anything shameful or speak any unbecoming word, since any fault so reflects on a friend that the friend not only blushes and grieves inwardly but also reproaches himself with what he sees or hears, as if he had committed the sin himself.”
Aelred of Rievaulx, Spiritual Friendship
