“Here’s a window onto madness. Our planet is a cosmic madhouse, said Goethe as much as a hundred years and more ago, to which Nietzche, while he was still of sound mind,... added: With individuals madness is rare; but with groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” PeopleGroupsSocietyMadnessInsanityNationalism Book:EEG Source: EEG
“...the intellectual is a person who nurtures, preserves and propagates independent judgment, a person loyal exclusively to truth, a courageous and wrathful individual for whom no force of this world is too great or too frightening not to be subjected to scrutiny and called to account. ... A true intellectual, a genuine one, is always an outsider, …he is a person who lives in self-imposed exile on the margins of society.” SocietyIndependenceAuthenticityFree ThoughtIntellectuals Book:Belladonna Source: Belladonna
