“The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding. On the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn’t the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.”
― Albert Camus

― Angela Carter, The Sadeian Woman: And the Ideology of Pornography

“In truth, Freud sees nothing and understands nothing.”
― Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
