The slave of fear: the worst of slaveries

George Bernard Shaw

All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent.

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

A prison taint was on everything there. The imprisoned air, the imprisoned light, the imprisoned damps, the imprisoned men, were all deteriorated by confinement. As the captive men were faded and haggard, so the iron was rusty, the stone was slimy, the wood was rotten, the air was faint, the light was dim. Like a well, like a vault, like a tomb, the prison had no knowledge of the brightness outside; and would have kept its polluted atmosphere intact, in one of the spice islands of the Indian Ocean.

Charles Dickens

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people's vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.

Andrea Jung

Smelling isn't everything said the Elephant. Why, said the Bulldog, if a fellow can't trust his nose, what is he to trust? Well, his brains perhaps, she replied mildly.

C.S. Lewis

The perfect killer has no conscience.

Brent Weeks

Talent is able to achieve what is beyond other people's capacity to achieve, yet not what is beyond their capacity of apprehension; therefore it at once finds its appreciators. The achievement of genius, on the other hand, transcends not only others' capacity of achievement, but also their capacity of apprehension; therefore they do not become immediately aware of it. Talent is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach; genius is like the marksman who hits a target, as far as which others cannot even see.

Arthur Schopenhauer, The World a

Nothing is sacred to a gamester.
