“Creative people who can't help but explore other mental territories are at greater risk, just as someone who climbs a mountain is more at risk than someone who just walks along a village lane.”

“The same is true for the market economy: the power of markets is enormous, but they have no inherent moral character. We have to decide how to manage them... For all these reasons, it is plain that markets must be tamed and tempered to make sure they work to the benefit of most citizens. And that has to be done repeatedly, to ensure that they continue to do so.”
― Joseph Stiglitz, The Price Of Inequality

“This writing is not exempt. It remains like all writing an absurd and revolting effort to make an impression on a world that will remain as unmoved as it is avid. If I could turn you on, if I could drive you out of your wretched mind, if I could tell you, I would let you know.”
― R.D. Laing, The Politics of Experience/The Bird of Paradise

“„Am avut, mai mult ca oricine altcineva, exact viaţa pe care am vrut-o: liberă, fără constrângerile unei profesii, fără umilinţe usturătoare şi griji meschine. O viaţă de vis, aproape, o viaţă de leneş, cum nu sunt multe în acest veac. Am citit mult, însă numai ce mi-a plăcut, şi dacă m-am străduit să scriu şi eu cărţi, efortul mi-a fost răsplătit de satisfacţia că nu m-am abătut, în ele, nicio clipă de la ideile şi gusturile proprii. Dacă sunt nemulţumit de ce am făcut, genul de viaţă pe care am dus-o, în schimb, nu mă nemulţumeşte. Şi asta înseamnă enorm... Marele succes al vieţii mele e că am reuşit să trăiesc fără o meserie. În fond, mi-am trăit viaţa destul de bine. M-am prefăcut că a fost un eşec. Însă n-a fost.”
― Emil Cioran
