Arthur Schopenhauer
“We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Herman Melville

Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Arthur Conan Doyle
“...while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of Four

Marcel Proust
“Every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer's work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader's recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book's truth.”
Marcel Proust, Time Regained

Steven Pinker
“Much of what is today called "social criticism" consists of members of the upper classes denouncing the tastes of the lower classes (bawdy entertainment, fast food, plentiful consumer goods) while considering themselves egalitarians.”
Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature
