“The conservatives have already accepted a large part of the collectivist creed-a creed that has governed policy for so long that many of its institutions have come to be accepted as a matter of course and have become a source of pride to "conservative" parties who created them. Here the believer in freedom cannot but conflict with the conservative and take an essentially radical position, directed against popular prejudices, entrenched positions, and firmly established privileges. Follies and abuses are no better for having long been established principles of folly.” LongMatterCoursesPartyPrinciplesPolicyPositionSourcePrideConflictAbusePrejudiceInstitutionsPrivilegeConservativeBelieverAcceptedRadicalFollyCreedsConservative Party Author:Friedrich August von Hayek

“An Arab activist can take pride in the Arab heritage of mathematics and science or he can take pride in his religion, and there's pride to be taken in both. But one of them could be exploited much more easily and has been in the context of world conflict. And the other is very difficult to do on the grounds that science and literature and mathematics have been among the uniting factors in the history of the world.” WorldHas BeensLiteratureDifficultTakenPrideConflictMathematicsFactorsActivistHeritageWorld HistoryUnitingMathematics And Science Author:Amartya Sen
“If only it were possible to love without injury – fidelity isn’t enough: I had been faithful to Anne and yet I had injured her. The hurt is in the act of possession: we are too small in mind and body to possess another person without pride or to be possessed without humiliation. In a way I was glad that my wife had struck out at me again – I had forgotten her pain for too long, and this was the only kind of recompense I could give her.
