George Orwell
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
George Orwell

Winston S. Churchill

Arun D. Ellis
“Only a psychopath would ever think of doing these things, only a psychopath would dream of abusing other people in such a way, only a psychopath would treat people as less than human just for money.

Arun D. Ellis, Corpalism

C.S. Lewis
“If the Divine call does not make us better, it will make us very much worse. Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst. Of all created beings the wickedest is one who originally stood in the immediate presence of God.”
C.S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms

Henri J.M. Nouwen, Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life
