“How pleasant a world would be in which no man was allowed to operate on the Stock Exchange unless he could pass and examination in economics and Greek poetry, and in which politicians were obliged to have a competent knowledge of history and modern novels.”
― Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays

“Solitude appeared to me as the only fit state of man.”
― Walter Benjamin

“A group experience takes place on a lower level of consciousness than the experience of an individual. This is due to the fact that, when many people gather together to share one common emotion, the total psyche emerging from the group is below the level of the individual psyche. If it is a very large group, the collective psyche will be more like the psyche of an animal, which is the reason why the ethical attitude of large organizations is always doubtful. The psychology of a large crowd inevitably sinks to the level of mob psychology. If, therefore, I have a so-called collective experience as a member of a group, it takes place on a lower level of consciousness than if I had the experience by myself alone.”
― C.G. Jung, The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious

“I am an anarchist in a totally different category from that of all anarchists who ever lived on the face of the earth.
I am a category consisting of myself, because my focus is completely different.
I am not against the government, I'm against the need for government.
I am not against the courts, I am against the need for courts.
Someday, sometime, I see the need for man to be able to live without any control - religious or political - as it will be a discipline in itself.”
― Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
