“Most people hate psychological conflict. For this reason they avoid doing any serious thinking about difficult social issues, and they like to have such issues presented to them in simple, black-and-white terms: this is all good and that is all bad.”
Theodore John Kaczynski, Industrial Society and Its Future

Marcus Aurelius
“Remember how long thou hast been putting off these things, and how often thou hast received an opportunity from the gods, and yet thou dost not use it. Thou must now at last perceive of what universe thou art a part, and of what administrator of the universe thy existence is an efflux, and that a limit of time is fixed for thee, which if thou dost not use for clearing away the clouds from thy mind, it will go and thou wilt go, and it will never return.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

C.G. Jung
“When facts are few, speculations are most likely to represent individual psychology.”
Carl Gustav Jung, Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 5: Symbols of Transformation

Frank Herbert
“We Fremen have a saying: ‘God created Arrakis to train the faithful.’ One cannot go against the word of God.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Adam Smith
“By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.”
Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
