“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”
― Douglas Adams, The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

“Kod mnogih od onih nebrojenih koji su se u novije vreme umorno i s verom poklonički vraćali postojbinskoj kolevci čovečanstva i kulture i bacali pred noge velikom Konfuciju i velikom Lao-Ceu, radi se jednostavno o dubokoj čežnji za onom božanskom dokolicom koja se tu upražnjava. Šta je čarolija Bahusa koja oslobađa briga i slatka, sanjiva slast hašiša prema beskrajnom miru onoga ko je pobegao od sveta i koji sedeći na rubu planine, posmatra kretanje svoje senke, a svoju dušu, koja pažljivo osluškuje, pušta da se slije sa neprestanim, tihim, opojnim ritmom kruženja sunca i meseca. Mi smo kod nas, na jadnom Zapadu, pocepali vreme na najsitnije delove od kojih svaki ima još vrednost novčića; a tamo, vreme još uvek nije isparčano, teče u valovima koji stalno rastu i koji su dovoljni da ugase žeđ jednog sveta, tamo je vreme neiscrpno, kao so u moru i svetlost zvezda.”
― Hermann Hesse
