    The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    A Jewish man with parents alive is a fifteen-year-old boy, and will remain a fifteen-year-old boy till they die.
