Albert Camus
“One grows out of pity when it's useless.”
Albert Camus, The Plague

Ernest Becker
“There is no point in lingering on the fallacies of the revolutionaries of unrepression; one could go on and on, but everything would come back to the same basic thing: the impossibility of living without repression.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Pankaj Mishra
“They encourage the suspicion – potentially lethal among the hundreds of millions of people condemned to superfluousness – that the present order, democratic or authoritarian, is built upon force and fraud; they incite a broader and more apocalyptic mood than we have witnessed before. They also underscore the need for some truly transformative thinking, about both the self and the world.”
Pankaj Mishra, Age of Anger: A History of the Present

Walter Benjamin
“The concept of progress must be grounded in the idea of catastrophe. That things are "status quo" is the catastrophe. It is not an ever-present possibility but
what in each case is given. Thus hell is not
something that awaits us, but this life here and now.”
Walter Benjamin, The Arcades Project

Joshua D. Greene
“Instead, the lesson is that false beliefs, once they’ve become culturally entrenched—once they’ve become tribal badges of honor—are very difficult to change, and changing them is no longer simply a matter of educating people.”
Joshua D. Greene, Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them
