Take away hatred from some people, and you have men without faith.
From Eric Hoffer
The savior who wants to turn men into angels is as much a hater of human nature as the totalitarian despot who wants to turn them into puppets.
The real Antichrist is he who turns the wine of an original idea into the water of mediocrity.
The beginning of thought is in disagreement - not only with others but also with ourselves.
Man is the only creature that strives to surpass himself, and yearns for the impossible.
Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.
Unpredictability, too, can become monotonous.
There are no chaste minds. Minds copulate wherever they meet.
The game of history is usually played by the best and the worst over the heads of the majority in the middle.
We feel free when we escape - even if it be but from the frying pan to the fire.
