Bertolt Brecht
“Hungry man, reach for the book: it is a weapon.”
Bertolt Brecht

Bertrand Russell
“There was a footpath leading across fields to New Southgate, and I used to go there alone to watch the sunset and contemplate suicide. I did not, however, commit suicide, because I wished to know more of mathematics.”
Betrand Russell

Mikhail Bakunin
“If God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish Him.”
Mikhail Bakunin

Franz Kafka
“Ich glaube, man sollte überhaupt nur solche Bücher lesen, die einen beißen und stechen. Wenn das Buch, das wir lesen, uns nicht mit einem Faustschlag auf den Schädel weckt, wozu lesen wir dann das Buch? Damit es uns glücklich macht, wie Du schreibst? Mein Gott, glücklich wären wir eben auch, wenn wir keine Bücher hätten, und solche Bücher, die uns glücklich machen, könnten wir zur Not selber schreiben. Wir brauchen aber die Bücher, die auf uns wirken wie ein Unglück, das uns sehr schmerzt, wie der Tod eines, den wir lieber hatten als uns, wie wenn wir in Wälder vorstoßen würden, von allen Menschen weg, wie ein Selbstmord, ein Buch muß die Axt sein für das gefrorene Meer in uns.”
Franz Kafka

Friedrich Nietzsche
“I mistrust all systematizers and avoid them. the will to a system is a lack of integrity.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
