Michael Schmidt-Salomon
“Gut und Böse sind banale, substanzlose Begriffe, die die Wirklichkeit weit eher verschleiern, als dass sie diese erhellen. Dies allein wäre schon Grund genug, sie aufzugeben. Wichtiger jedoch ist, dass der Gut-versus-Böse-Memplex in der menschlichen Kulturgeschichte immer wieder dazu diente, Menschengruppen gegeneinander aufzuhetzen.”
Michael Schmidt-Salomon, Jenseits von Gut und Böse

“Orthodoxy builds a rococo logical palace on loose empirical sand.”
Richard R. Nelson

Michael Schmidt-Salomon
“Es ist prinzipiell so, dass Nicht-Existenzen nicht bewiesen werden können! Man könnte behaupten, unser Universum sei in Wahrheit der Verdauungstrakt eines gigantischen, blaugestreiften und doch unsichtbaren Kobolds namens "Gaga Gugelhurz" - und niemand könnte die Nicht-Existenz dieses imaginären Wesens beweisen. Allerdings: Ein solcher Beweis wäre auch nicht notwendig! Warum? Weil nicht derjenige, der die Existenz des Gugelhurz oder des christlichen Gottes bestreitet, Beweise anbringen muss, sondern derjenige, der solch gewagte Thesen vertritt.”
Michael Schmidt-Salomon, Manifest des evolutionären Humanismus

Rabindranath Tagore
“If someone smells a flower and says he does not understand, the reply to him is: there is nothing to understand, it is only a scent. If he persists, saying: that I know, but what does it all mean? Then one has either to change the subject, or make it more abstruse by saying that the scent is the shape which the universal joy takes in the flower.”
Rabindranath Tagore, My Reminiscences

Nguyễn Ngọc Tư
“Mỗi lần rời khỏi một nơi nào đó, thật khó để phân biệt, chúng tôi bỏ đi hay chạy trốn.”
Nguyễn Ngọc Tư, Cánh Đồng Bất Tận
