Sigmund Freud
“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.”
Sigmund Freud

John  Williams
“Young people," McDonald said contemptuously. "You always think there's something to find out."

"Yes, sir," Andrews said.

"Well, there's nothing," McDonald said. "You get born, and you nurse on lies, and you get weaned on lies, and you learn fancier lies in school. You live all your life on lies, and then maybe when you're ready to die, it comes to you — that there's nothing, nothing but yourself and what you could have done. Only you ain't done it, because the lies told you there was something else. Then you know you could of had the world, because you're the only one that knows the secret; only then it's too late. You're too old."

"No," Andrews said. A vague terror crept from the darkness that surrounded them, and tightened his voice. "That's not the way it is."

"You ain't learned, then," McDonald said. "You ain't learned yet. . . .”
John Williams, Butcher's Crossing

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“A lover's a liar,
To himself he lies,
The truthful are loveless,
Like oysters their eyes!”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Augustine of Hippo
“Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.”
Saint Augustine
