    “What we ought to see in the agonies of puberty is the result of the conditioning that maims the female personality in creating the feminine.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else—we are the busiest people in the world.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “As a result of a general defect of nature, we are either more confident or more fearful of unusual and unknown things.”
    —Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)

    “Savages cling to a local god of one tribe or town. The broad ethics of Jesus were quickly narrowed to village theologies, which preach an election or favoritism.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
