"I thought to myself: I am wiser than this man; neither of us probably knows anything that is really good, but he thinks he has knowledge, when he has not, while I, having no knowledge, do not think I have."

“Infinity lies at the heart of so many of our dreams and fears and unanswerable questions: How big is the universe? How long is forever? How powerful is God? In every branch of human thought, from religion and philosophy to science and mathematics, infinity has befuddled the world’s finest minds for thousands of years. It has been banished, outlawed, and shunned. It’s always been a dangerous idea.”
― Steven H. Strogatz, Infinite Powers: The Story of Calculus - The Language of the Universe

“You hate America, don’t you?”

“That would be as silly as loving it. It’s impossible for me to get emotional about it, because real estate doesn’t interest me. It’s no doubt a great flaw in my personality, but I can’t think in terms of boundaries. Those imaginary lines are as unreal to me as elves and pixies. I can’t believe that they mark the end or the beginning of anything of real concern to a human soul. Virtues and vices, pleasures and pains cross boundaries at will.”  --Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Francis Bacon:

"It is a strange desire, to seek power and to lose liberty: or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man’s self."

A healthy feeling of inferiority is not something that comes from comparing oneself to others; it comes from one’s comparison with one’s ideal self.

Except during sex, or just love.
Mill wrote like he was injecting morphine, but that's maybe just my interpretation.

“When desire dies, fear is born.”
― Baltasar Gracián

This piercing aphorism from the 17th-century Spanish philosopher, published in his classic The Art of Worldly Wisdom, contrasts the paralyzing nature of apathy with the vitality of human drive.

The Death of Desire: When you stop wanting, striving, or caring about a specific outcome, your internal compass loses its true north.

The Birth of Fear: Without the momentum of a goal, a void is created. This vacuum of purpose leaves you vulnerable to the fear of the unknown, hesitation, and stagnation.

"The only Pillar of Wisdom: There is no human wisdom." (unknown)

"Humans have 'suceeded' because we perform so well in crises.  So we have turned the world into a permanent crisis." (unknown)

“Back in my old neighborhood, there was a special contempt for the kind of guy who was always trying to get two other guys to fight each other. Today, it is considered a great contribution to society to incite consumers against producers, tenants against landlords, women against men, and the races against each other.”
― Thomas Sowell, Is Reality Optional?: And Other Essays

"To play both ends against the middle."

(idiom)

To try to get opposing people or groups to fight or disagree so that you will get an advantage from the situation.

“No one seems to have noticed that a loss of a sense of shame means a loss of privacy; a loss of privacy means a loss of intimacy; and a loss of intimacy means a loss of depth. There is, in fact, no better way to produce shallow and superficial people than to let them live their lives entirely in the open, without concealment of anything.”
― Theodore Dalrymple, Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses

“Illegality creeps in unobserved; it is like small items of expenditure which when oft-repeated make away with a man’s possessions. The spending goes unnoticed because the money is not spent all at once, and this is just what leads the mind astray.” - Aristotle (c. 384-322 BCE)

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.

Albert Einstein, 1940


(Defending the controversial appointment of Bertrand Russell to a teaching position at the City College of New York against public backlash.)

"How can anyone be for drug abuse? How can anyone be for addiction? How can anyone be for cocaine babies? This whole rhetoric is obviously impossible. So the issue is not being for the abuse of drugs. The issue is being for self-responsible behavior. And if we know anything we know that the more controls are imposed on people from without, the less they will control themselves, and vice versa.  If you treat adolescents as if they were responsible, they will act responsibly. If you treat them as if they are irresponsible, they will act irresponsibly." (Thomas Szasz)
