It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I thought I'd cull some quotes and links together to break the streak! Hope something tickles your fancy!
"Surely there is nothing more wretched than a man, of all the things which breathe and move upon the earth." — Homer
"Man isn't a noble savage, he's an ignoble savage. He is irrational, brutal, weak, silly, unable to be objective about anything where his own interests are involved—that about sums it up. I'm interested in the brutal and violent nature of man because it's a true picture of him. And any attempt to create social institutions on a false view of the nature of man is probably doomed to failure." — Stanley Kubrick
"Not all psychopaths are in prison—some are in the boardroom." — Robert D. Hare
"Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters." — Jordan Maxwell
"Well, some people say I'm pessimistic because I recognize the eternal cycle of evil. All I say is, look at the history of mankind right up to this moment and what do you find?" — Wole Soyinka
"There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do." — John Steinbeck
"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher." — Ambrose Bierce
"If there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence." — Bertrand Russell
"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead." — Charles Bukowski
