„Men praat wel eens van de ‘dierlijke’ wreedheid van de mens, maar dat is verschrikkelijk onrechtvaardig en beledigend voor de dieren; het dier kan nooit zo wreed zijn als de mens, zo artistiek, zo geraffineerd wreed.”
Fjodor M. Dostojevski in De Broers Karamazov.
'A common man marvels at uncommon things; a wise man marvels at the commonplace.'
Confucius
“Man should not be the sun’s friend, but the sun itself. And that he is; the mistake lies in his failure to recognize his place, his home, and thereby his right.”
Ernst Jünger
‘Informer’ … means one who gives information. It means what ‘journalist’ ought to mean. The only difference is that the Common Informer may be paid if he tells the truth. The common journalist will be ruined if he does.'
G.K. Chesterton
