William Golding
“If faces were different when lit from above or below -- what was a face? What was anything?”
William Golding, Lord of the Flies

Alan W. Watts
“Democracy as we have tried it started out on the wrong foot. We took the Christian scriptures that say that everybody is equal in the sight of God and made it to mean that everybody is inferior in the sight of God. And this is a parody of mysticism. Because originally, mysticism meant that, from the standpoint of God, all people are divine, which is a far different thing. So this is why all bureaucracies are rude, why police are rude, why you are made to wait in lines for everything, and why everyone is treated as some kind of crook. And a society like this, that views everybody as inferior, turns quickly into fascism because of its terror of the outsider.”
Alan W. Watts, Out of Your Mind: Tricksters, Interdependence, and the Cosmic Game of Hide and Seek

Homer
“Sing, O muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.”
Homer, The Iliad

Chuck Palahniuk
“Torture is torture and humiliation is humiliation only when you choose to suffer.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Asfixia

Homer
“There is nothing alive more agonized than man / of all that breathe and crawl across the earth.”
Homer, The Iliad
