“We should treat with indulgence every human folly, failing, and vice, bearing in mind that what we have before us are simply our own failings, follies, and vices. For they are just the failings of mankind to which we also belong and accordingly we have all the same failings buried within ourselves. We should not be indignant with others for these vices simply because they do not appear in us at the moment.”
― Irvin D. Yalom, The Schopenhauer Cure

“Ne znam s kim se vi družite, ali ja već više meseci, kako sednem za neki sto, čujem kukanje. Žale se ljudi na dinar, na cene, na penzije, na situaciju ovde ili tamo, na mlade, na stare... I kukaju... Sve mi je dosadnije, zato, da se viđam i da se srećem. Pa mi je lepše da se zatvorim u svoju sobu...da prelistam neku poštenu knjigu i da još malo verujem, đavo ga odneo, da na svetu ima i lepih stvari... A ima ih. Verujte”

“Ja sam odlučio učiniti sve što je u ljudskoj moći da ne propadnem. Takva misao raste i razvija se u čovjekovoj duši poput djeteta u majčinoj utrobi. U početku je slabašna, još nema nikakvog jasnog lika, samo pobuđuje strastvenu žudnju koja čovjeka goni da ustraje i ne odustaje. Ima strahovitu moć. Postupno prožima i opsjeda onoga tko je nosi, tako da on ne vidi ništa drugo i ni na što ne misli osim na to kako da je otjelovi, kako da donese na svijet taj čudesan plod. S takvom mišlju u sebi čovjek je uistinu nalik na luđaka - ne pita je li ispravno ili nije, je li dobro ili je zlo, radi po nekoj nevidljivoj zapovijedi i zna samo da je sredstvo u vlasti nečeg što je jače od njega. I tada mu nije važno je li ta vlast nebo ili pakao!”
― Vladimir Bartol, Alamut

“Instruction in world history in the so-called high schools is even today in a very sorry condition. Few teachers understand that the study of history can never be to learn historical dates and events by heart and recite them by rote; that what matters is not whether the child knows exactly when this battle or that was fought, when a general was born, or even when a monarch (usually a very insignificant one) came into the crown of his forefathers. No, by the living God, this is very unimportant. To 'learn' history means to seek and find the forces which are the causes leading to those effects which we subsequently perceive as historical events.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
