Susan Sontag
“People don't become inured to what they are shown - if that's the right way to describe what happens - because of the quantity of images dumped on them. It is passivity that dulls feeling. The states described as apathy, moral or emotional anesthesia, are full of feelings; the feelings are rage and frustration. ”
Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others

Željko Malnar
“Stakleni grad – jesam li ga osjetio? Jesam li ga našao? Kuda me to vodi život? Svatko ima svoj Stakleni grad, svaka osoba, svaka nacija, svaka ideologija, religija. … Tražiti Stakleni grad značilo je tražiti svoj ideal, tražiti sebe.”
Željko Malnar

Leonardo da Vinci
“Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.”
Leonardo da Vinci

Susan Sontag
“Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question of what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, the knowledge that has been communicated. If one feels that there is nothing 'we' can do -- but who is that 'we'? -- and nothing 'they' can do either -- and who are 'they' -- then one starts to get bored, cynical, apathetic.”
Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others

Hannah Arendt
“Caution in handling generally accepted opinions that claim to explain whole trends of history is especially important for the historian of modern times, because the last century has produced an abundance of ideologies that pretend to be keys to history but are actually nothing but desperate efforts to escape responsibility.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
