Pierre Bourdieu
“Taste classifies, and it classifies the classifier. Social subjects, classified by their classifications, distinguish themselves by the distinctions they make, between the beautiful and the ugly, the distinguished and the vulgar, in which their position in the objective classifications is expressed or betrayed.”
Pierre Bourdieu, Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste

Herbert Spencer
“Men are not rational beings, as commonly supposed. A man is a bundle of instincts, feelings, sentiments, which severally seek their gratification, and those which are in power get hold of reason and use it to their own ends, and exclude all other sentiments and feelings from power.”
Herbert Spencer

Ronald A. Fisher
“The supposed conflict between heredity and environment is quite superficial; the two are connected by double ties: first that the surest and probably the quickest way to improve environment is to secure a sound stock; and secondly that, for the eugenist, the best environment is that which effects the most rapid racial improvements. The ordinary social reformer sets out with a belief that no environement can be too good for humanity; it is without contradicting this, that the eugenist may add that man can never be too good for the environment.”
Ronald A. Fisher

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Men of profound thought appear to themselves in intercourse with others like comedians, for in order to be understood they must always simulate superficiality.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

Friedrich A. Hayek
“Individualism has a bad name today, and the term has come to be connected with egotism and selfishness.7 But the individualism of which we speak in contrast to socialism and all other forms of collectivism has no necessary connection with these. Only gradually in the course of this book shall we be able to make clear the contrast between the two opposing principles.”
F.A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom
