Andrei Tarkovsky
“An artistic image is one that ensures its own development, its historical viability. An image is a grain, a self-evolving retroactive organism. It is a symbol of actual life, as opposed to life itself. Life contains death. An image of life, by contrast, excludes it, or else sees in it a unique potential for the affirmation of life.
Whatever it expresses—even destruction and ruin—the artistic image is by definition an embodiment of hope, it is inspired by faith.
Artistic creation is by definition a denial of death. Therefore it is
optimistic, even if in an ultimate sense the artist is tragic.
And so there can never be optimistic artists and pessimistic artists. There can only be talent and mediocrity.”
Andrei Tarkovsky, Journal 1970-1986

G.K. Chesterton
“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected.”
G.K. Chesterton

Fernando Pessoa
“Ao contrário do catolicismo, o comunismo não tem uma doutrina. Enganam-se os que supõem que ela a tem. O catolicismo é um sistema dogmático perfeitamente definido e compreensível, quer teologicamente, quer sociologicamente. O comunismo não é um sistema: é um dogmatismo sem sistema – o dogmatismo informe da brutalidade e da dissolução. Se o que há de lixo moral e mental em todos os cérebros pudesse ser varrido e reunido, e com ele se formar uma figura gigantesca, tal seria a figura do comunismo, inimigo supremo da liberdade e da humanidade, como o é tudo quanto dorme nos baixo instintos que se escondem em cada um de nós.
O comunismo não é uma doutrina porque é uma antidoutrina, ou uma contradoutrina. Tudo quanto o homem tem conquistado até hoje, de espiritualidade moral e mental – isto é de civilização e de cultura -, tudo isso ele inverte para formar a doutrina que não tem.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Friedrich Nietzsche
“In order that there may be institutions, there must be a kind of will, instinct, or imperative, which is anti-liberal to the point of malice: the will to tradition, to authority, to responsibility for centuries to come, to the solidarity of chains of generations, forward and backward ad infinitum.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

Michel Foucault
“Schools serve the same social functions as prisons and mental institutions- to define, classify, control, and regulate people.”
Michel Foucault
