Carlos Castaneda
“The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.”
Carlos Castaneda

John D. MacDonald
“Vulnerability is the curse of the thinking classes.”
John D. MacDonald

John D. MacDonald
“There is something self-destructive about Western technology and distribution. Whenever any consumer object is so excellent that it attracts a devoted following, some of the slide rule and computer types come in on their twinkle toes and take over the store, and in a trice they figure out just how far they can cut quality and still increase market penetration. Their reasoning is that it is idiotic to make and sell a hundred thousand units of something and make 30 cents a unit when you can increase the advertising, sell five million units, and make a nickel profit a unit. Thus, the very good things of the world go down the drain, from honest turkey to honest eggs to honest tomatoes. And gin.”
John D. MacDonald, The Dreadful Lemon Sky

Elie Wiesel
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim”
Elie Wiesel, Night

Carlos Castaneda
“We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same”
Carlos Castaneda, Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan
