Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Full freedom will come only when it makes no difference whether to live or not to live. That’s the goal for everyone.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

Jean Baudrillard
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
Jean Baudrillard, America

Sigmund Freud
“This is how men ought to be, in order to be happy and to make others happy; but you have to reckon on their not being like that”
Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents

Aristotle
“poetry utters universal truths, history particular statements”
Aristotle, Poetics

Charles Baudelaire
“The man who is unable to people his solitude is equally unable to be alone in a bustling crowd. The poet enjoys the incomparable privilege of being able to be himself or some one else, as he chooses. [...] The solitary and thoughtful stroller finds a singular intoxication in this universal communion. [...] What men call love is a very small, restricted, feeble thing compared with this ineffable orgy, this divine prostitution of the soul giving itself entire...to the unexpected as it comes along, the stranger as he passes.”
Charles Baudelaire, Paris Spleen
