Thomas Keneally
“Lower ways of life give way to higher.”
― Thomas Keneally, The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith

Simone Collins
“The first time the extent of this problem was obvious to me was when I was hanging out with a small group of people in which one unironically said, “I would not consider dating someone who was not regularly seeing a psychologist”—and others in the group agreed with them. It was at that point I realized that some psychologists were convincing their patients that no person could be mentally healthy without regularly visiting them. They had so thoroughly incepted a dependency in their patients that they had created a cultural identity around that dependency.”
― Simone Collins, The Pragmatist’s Guide to Crafting Religion: A playbook for sculpting cultures that overcome demographic collapse & facilitate long-term human flourishing

“Echinoderms have hard plates of calcite in their skin for protection, which Laura wishes she could have. Instead she will have to continue to develop strength of character.”
― Sally Ann Hunter, Transfigured Sea

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
“Islam was like a mental cage. At first, when you open the door, the caged bird stays inside: it is frightened. It has internalized its imprisonment. It takes time for bird to escape, even after someone has opened the doors to its cage.”
― Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel

John Fowles
“There comes a time in each life like a point of fulcrum. At that time you must accept yourself. It is not any more what you will become. It is what you are and always will be.”
― John Fowles, The Magus
