Kim Wilkins
“Some say that man is evil or wicked, but I hold that man may at least be reasoned with, where wolves or blizzards or falling trees are invariably unheeding of entreaties.”
Kim Wilkins, The Infernal

Liz Greene
“In personal relationships, water may often be the one who exits due to a feeling of being injured or emotionally rejected; in such situations he or she will usually have found someone else who is more "responsive", only to discover wit horror that the new lover has a different face but is in fact the same person as the old.”
Liz Greene, Relating - An Astrological Guide to Living With Others:

Mircea Eliade
“In New Zealand, the deceased must pass through a very narrow space between two demons that try to capture him; if he is "light" he gets through, but if he is "heavy" he falls and becomes the demons' prey.”
Mircea Eliade, Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy

“Because everybody knows how they keep going on: they take one, we take one, then they take two, and we take three...they shoot up an airport so we blow up a school. And blood runs in the gutters. Because that's what it's all about, isn't it? Blood in the gutters. Blood...”
Richard Bachman, Thinner

Germaine Greer
“Energy is the power that drives every human being. It is not lost by exertion but maintained by it, for it is a faculty of the psyche.
It is driven to perverted manifestations by curbs and checks. Like the motive force that drives the car along the highway, when it meets with an obstacle it turns to destructive force and shakes its source to pieces. It is not too hard to point out to the averagely perceptive human being that women have plenty of the destructive kind of energy, but far fewer people can see that women's destructiveness is creativity turned in upon itself by constant frustration. Nervous diseases, painful menstruation, unwanted pregnancies, accidents of all kinds, are all evidence of women's energy destroying them. It extends beyond them wreaking havoc with the personalities and achievements of others, especially their husbands and their children. That is not to say that women must hate all their relatives, but that if children are presented to women as a duty and marriage as an inescapable yoke, then the more energy they have the more they will fret and chafe, tearing themselves and their dependants to pieces.”
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch
