Michael Mann
“Fascist beliefs must not be dismissed as crazy, contradictory, or vague. Fascists offered plausible solutions to modern problems, and got mass electoral support and intense commitment from militants. Few fascists were sadists or psychopaths, or people with a “rag-bag” of half-understood dogmas and slogans flitting through their heads, as some suggest (Paxton, 2004: 16–17) – or no more so than the rest of us.”
Michael Mann, The Sources of Social Power: Volume 3, Global Empires and Revolution, 1890-1945 by Mann, Michael (2012) Paperback

P.C. Hooft
“0 Juppiter vergeeft het mijn
Soo'ck weenich van u houwe,
U blixems niet soo crachtich sijn
Als d'oogen van mijn vrouwe.”
P.C. Hooft, De gedichten

Guillaume de Lorris
“Love, if I think right, is a sickness of thought that takes place between two persons of different sex when they are in close proximity and open to each other. It arises among people from the burning desire, born of disordinate glances, to embrace and kiss each other and to have the solace of one another's body. A lover so burns and is so enraptured that he thinks of nothing else; he takes no account of bearing fruit, but strives only for delight.”
Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose

Arthur Conan Doyle
“No violence, gentlemen – no violence, I beg of you! Consider the furniture!”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes: Volume 1

Michael Mann
“The history of Rome is the most fascinating historical laboratory available to
sociologists. It provides a 700-year stretch of written records and archaeological remains.”
Michael Mann, The Sources of Social Power: Volume 1, A History of Power from the Beginning to AD 1760
