“Svetu hrozia tri pliagy, tri morové rany.
Prvá pliaga - nacionalizmus.
Druhý - rasizmus.
Tretia - náboženský fundamentalizmus.
Tieto tri pliagy majú rovnakú črtu, spoločného menovateľa - je to agresívna, všemocná, totálna iracionalita. Nie je možné preniknúť do vedomia zasiahnutého niektorou touto pliagou. V takejto hlave horí svätá hranica, ktorá iba čaká obete. Každý pokus o pokojný rozhovor sa skončí neúspechom. Takémuto človeku nejde o rozhovor, iba o deklaráciu. Aby si mu prisvedčil, dal za pravdu, podpísal súhlas. Inak v jeho očiach nemáš cenu, pretože zavážiš iba ako nástroj, ako inštrument, ako zbraň. Ľudia nejestvujú - je iba vec.”
― Ryszard Kapuściński

“Economist Marvin Harris described women as a "literate and docile" labor pool, and "therefore desirable candidates for the information- and people-processing jobs thrown up by modern service industries." The qualities that best serve employers in such a labor pool's workers are: low self-esteem, a tolerance for dull repetitive tasks, lack of ambition, high conformity, more respect for men (who manage them) than women (who work beside them), and little sense of control over their lives.”

“Only God, my dear,” wrote Yeats blithely, “Could love you for yourself alone/And not your yellow hair.” This quote is meant as a bit of lighthearted verse. But it is an epic tragedy in three lines.”
