Milton Sanford Mayer
“Hitlerism was a mass flight to dogma, to the barbaric dogma that had not been expelled with the Romans, the dogma of the tribe, the dogma that gave every man importance only in so far as the tribe was important and he was a member of the tribe.”
Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45

Virginia Woolf
“She seemed a compound of the autumn leaves and the winter sunshine ...”
Virginia Woolf, Night and Day

Milton Sanford Mayer
“As the Nazi emphasis on nonintellectual virtues (patriotism, loyalty, duty, purity, labor, simplicity, “blood,” “folk-ishness”) seeped through Germany, elevating the self-esteem of the “little man,” the academic profession was pushed from the very center to the very periphery of society. Germany was preparing to cut its own head off.

Neal Stephenson
“See, the world is full of things more powerful than us. But if you know how to catch a ride, you can go places,”
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

William Shakespeare
“O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams."

Which dreams, indeed, are ambition; for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.”
William Shakespeare, Hamlet
