Michel Foucault

C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis

Theodor W. Adorno
“Intolerance of ambiguity is the mark of an authoritarian personality.”
Theodor Adorno

Carl Schmitt

But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.”
John Ruskin
