Chris Hedges
“Pozitivistička psihologija, poput celebrity kulture, nezadrživ nagon da se kupuje i privlačnosti masovne zabave kao sredstva odvraćanja pozornosti, pothranjuje se osjećajem nesretnosti što ga izaziva izolacija i gubitak osjećaja zajedništva. Korporativistička postavka kako se sreća može pronaći kroz prilagodbu i podčinjavanje korporativnoj kulturi okrutan je trik zato što upravo korporativna kultura podržava i hrani u ljudi tu veliku boleštinu i odvojenost od stvarnog kao obilježje kulture opsjene.”
Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle

Chris Hedges
“Premda zvuči kao ironija, ali činjenica je da su sveučilišta stotine tisuća ljudi obučila za poslove koji će uskoro jednostavno nestati.Obučila su ljude da održavaju ustroj koji se ne može održati. Elita, jednako kao i oni koji su stekli uske, specijalizirane, gotovo zanatske vještine, znaju jedino kako hraniti zvijer sve dok ne umre. A, kad jednom umre, ostat će bespomoćni. Ne očekujte da će nas spasiti. Ne znaju kako. Ne znaju čak ni kako postavljati valjana pitanja. A kad se sve uruši, kad naš truli financijski sustav s tim tisućama milijardi bezvrijedne aktive doživi imploziju i naši imperijalni ratovi završe poniženjem i porazom, elita moćnika razotkrit će se kao bespomoćna i samozaluđena jednako kao i svi mi ostali.”
Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle

“Inverted totalitarianism, unlike classical totalitarianism, does not revolve around a demagogue or charismatic leader. It finds expression in the anonymity of the Corporate State. It purports to cherish democracy, patriotism, and the Constitution while manipulating internal levers.”
Chris Hedges , Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle

Deepak Chopra
“According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous. (quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in Consider the Butterfly)”
Deepak Chopra, SynchroDestiny: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence to Create Miracles

Chris Hedges
“A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, and fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.”
Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle
