Joseph Roth
“Perquè tal com l'amor i la justícia provenen de l'absència de temor, en canvi, l'odi neix del temor, i la injustícia neix del temor.
Ara bé, el temor és el fill de l'Anticrist. Ens referim al temor de l'ésser humà envers els seus iguals.
El lleó no tem el lleó, el tigre no tem el tigre, el xai no tem el xai, el bou no tem el bou, el corb no tem el corb, el barb no tem el barb, si no és que l'un amenaça l'altre. Per tal que regni el temor entre un ésser i un altre de la mateixa mena, cal que existeixi una enemistat entre tots dos per un motiu determinat.
En canvi, l'ésser humà tem l'ésser humà sense que hi hagi cap motiu, sinó que el temor de l'ésser humà cap al seu igual no és pas la conseqüència de les seves enemistats i les seves guerres, sinó que n'és la causa.”
Joseph Roth, The Antichrist

Stendhal
“...les contours immobiles de ses paupières annonçaient l'impossibilité de toute symphatie.”
Henri Beyle Stendhal, Le Rouge et le Noir

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Només vaig escriure poemes d'amor quan estimava. Com hauria pogut escriure cançons d'odi, sense odi? [...] Com hauria pogut jo, per a qui només tenen importància la cultura i la barbàrie, odiar una nació [la francesa] que figura entre les més cultes del món, i a la qual devia una part tan gran de la meva formació?”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Conversations of Goethe

Josep Carner
“No vull el lent i desvagat destí / de dar a no-res mon oci inconegut; / val més ésser esclafat i escorregut, / la sang inútil trasmudant en vi.”
Josep Carner, Els fruits saborosos

Jack London
“He began to accompany his mother on the meat-trail, and he saw much of the killing of meat and began to play his part in it. And in his own dim way he learned the law of meat. There were two kinds of life - his own kind and the other kind. His own kind included his mother and himself. The other kind included all live things that moved. But the other kind was divided. One portion was what his own kind killed and ate. This portion was composed of the non-killers and the small killers. The other portion killed and ate his own kind, or was killed and eaten by his own kind. And out of this classification arose the law. The aim of life was meat. Life itself was meat. Life lived on life. There were the eaters and the eaten. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN. He did not formulate the law in clear, set terms and moralise about it. He did not even think the law; he merely lived the law without thinking about it at all.”
Jack London, White Fang
