Hannah Arendt
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Herbert Marcuse
“For the Enemy is permanent. He is not in the emergency situation but in the normal state of affairs. He threatens in peace as much as in war (and perhaps more than in war); he is thus being built into the system as a cohesive power.”
Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society

Herbert Marcuse
“Under the rule of a repressive whole, liberty can be made into a powerful instrument of domination. The range of choice open to the individual is not the decisive factor in determining the degree of human freedom, but what can be chosen and what is chosen by the individual.”
Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society

Erich Fromm
“It seems that nothing is more difficult for the average man to bear than the feeling of not being identified with a larger group.”
Erich Fromm, Escape from Freedom

Irvin D. Yalom
“Your task is to accept yourself—not to find ways to gain my acceptance.”
Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept
