Independence is an issue that concerns very few people: — it is a prerogative of the strong. And even when somebody has every right to be independent, if he attempts such a thing without having to do so, he proves that he is probably not only strong, but brave to the point of madness. He enters a labyrinth, he multiplies by a thousand the dangers already inherent in the very act of living, not the least of which is the fact that no one with eyes will see how and where he gets lost and lonely and is torn limb from limb by some cave-Minotaur of conscience. And assuming a man like this is destroyed, it is an event so far from human comprehension that people do not feel it or feel for him: — and he cannot go back again! He cannot go back to their pity again!
-Nietzsche

"What is the purpose for this life? I suppose we will in no way truly know until it's the end. & all your thoughts, all of your predicaments will just fade away. Forgotten & mislaid. Then what? What then will we be? What it may be. Is what terrifies me. Sometimes I think, do I want to identify it? Or would I rather live this bitter world of pit"

Honestly, just about anything by Mark Twain is probably it. The man was probably one of the greatest observers of human nature in history. My favorite is:

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again -- and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore." - Mark Twain

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.

Rarity by itself shouldn't necessarily be evidence of anything. When one is dealt a bridge hand of thirteen cards, the probability of being dealt that particular hand is less than one in 600 billion. Still, it would be absurd for someone to be dealt a hand, examine it carefully, calculate that the probability of getting it is less than one in 600 billion, and then conclude that he must not have been dealt that very hand because it is so very improbable. --John Allen Paulos

“I admit that twice two makes four is an excellent thing, but if we are to give everything its due, twice two makes five is sometimes a very charming thing too”

“If the devil does not exist, and man has therefore created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness”

“Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.”

"Only two things are infinite: the universe, and human stupidity; and I'm not so sure about the former." Albert Einstein.
Also Einstein, when asked which he thought was the strongest force in the universe, replied, "Compound interest."
