The same underlying motives appear to be at work, namely fear, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, fear of economic competition, guilt feelings, and the like.

—Ashley Montagu (b. 1905)
“The world has always gone through periods of madness so as to advance a bit on the road to reason.”
—Hermann Broch (1886–1951)
“Only the person who has experienced light and darkness, war and peace, rise and fall, only that person has truly experienced life.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
