Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.

The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.

G. W. F. Hegel

During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism.

The analytic psychotherapist thus has a threefold battle to wage -- in his own mind against the forces which seek to drag him down from the analytic level; outside the analysis, against opponents who dispute the importance he attaches to the sexual instinctual forces and hinder him from making use of them in his scientific technique; and inside the analysis, against his patients, who at first behave like opponents but later on reveal the overvaluation of sexual life which dominates them, and who try to make him captive to their socially untamed passion.

Sigmund Freud
