Book cover for Conscience of a Conservative
Andy Guertin
This may be the most absurd political statement I've ever heard, delivered with such apparent sincerity. The modern political conservative is (and I don't even this is a controversial statement), entirely soulless and hence, without anything but material and reputation-derived desires. Their wants can always be seen as essentially economic in nature, if not to do primarily with prestige or respectability. “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” -Sun Tzu

Frederick Douglass
“Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
Frederick Douglass

David Foster Wallace
“It's weird to feel like you miss someone you're not even sure you know.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

David Foster Wallace
“It did what all ads are supposed to do: create an anxiety relievable by purchase.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

David Foster Wallace
“Try to learn to let what is unfair teach you.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Viktor E. Frankl
“No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.”
Viktor Emil Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
