Ivan Illich
“everywhere the school system has the same structure, and everywhere its hidden curriculum has the same effect. Invariably, it shapes the consumer who values institutional commodities above the nonprofessional ministration of a neighbor. Everywhere the hidden curriculum of schooling initiates the citizen to the myth that bureaucracies guided by scientific knowledge are efficient and benevolent.”
Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society

Kenneth Minogue
“The search for liberation is a rejection of the responsibilities of freedom in favour of a release into the irresponsibility of rights.”
Kenneth Minogue, On Liberty and Its Enemies: Essays of Kenneth Minogue

Benedict of Nursia
“Do not be daunted immediately by fear and run away from the road that leads to salvation. It is bound to be narrow at the outset. But as we progress in this way of life and in faith, we shall run on the path of God's commandments, our hearts overflowing with the inexpressible delight of love.”
Benedict of Nursia, The Rule of Saint Benedict

Gustaf Aulén
“Christ came down from heaven because no power other than that of God Himself was able to accomplish the work that was to be done. Incarnation and atoning work are thus set in the closest possible relation to one another; both belong to one scheme.”
Gustaf Aulén, Christus Victor

Herman Melville
“Nothing so aggravates an earnest person as a passive resistance. If the individual so resisted be of a not inhumane temper, and the resisting one perfectly harmless in his passivity, then, in the better moods of the former, he will endeavor charitably to construe to his imagination what proves impossible to be solved by his judgment.”
Herman Melville, Bartleby the Scrivener
