Hermann Hesse
“There is truth, my boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist. Nor should you long for a perfect doctrine, my friend. Rather, you should long for the perfection of yourself. The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.”
Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game

George Bernard Shaw
“I like flowers, I also like children, but I do not chop their heads off and keep them in bowls of water around the house.”
George B. Shaw

Chuck Dixon
“I am in the service of lost boys struggling to be good men.”
Chuck Dixon, Robin: Year One

Robert Musil
“Ideology is: intellectual ordering of the feelings; an objective connection among them that makes the subjective connection easier.”
Robert Musil

Simone de Beauvoir
“The truth is, however, that when two individuals detest each other, while being unable to get along without each other, it is not of all human relations the truest and most moving, but rather the most pitiable.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
