Francis Bacon
“A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion”
Francis Bacon

Ernest Becker
“Unlike the baboon who gluts himself only on food, man nourishes himself mostly on self-esteem. It”
Ernest Becker, The Birth and Death of Meaning: An Interdisciplinary Perspective on the Problem of Man

Stanley Kubrick
“If you really want to communicate something, even if it’s just an emotion or an attitude, let alone an idea, the least effective and least enjoyable way is directly. It only goes in about an inch. But if you can get people to the point where they have to think a moment what it is you’re getting at, and then discover it, the thrill of discovery goes right through the heart.”
Stanley Kubrick

William Shakespeare
“But man, proud man,
Dress'd in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd—
His glassy essence—like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,
Would all themselves laugh mortal.”
William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure

Mark Rippetoe
“A weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their squat strength goes up.”
Mark Rippetoe, Starting Strength
