“There are people who want to make mens lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating lifetheir Christianity, for instance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond? You never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud, and what changes a darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one of these thingswhat eternity is, for exampleI wouldnt care if they did think I was crazy.”
—Garrett Fort (19001945)
“Your child...may not call you or other people names.... Dont be tempted to gloss over this issue. You may be able to talk to yourself into not minding being called names, but this decision may come back to haunt you in later years. If you let a preschooler speak disrespectfully to you now, youll have a much harder time of it when your child is a preteen and the issue resurfaces, which it is likely to do then.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
