“Circumstances are seldom right… You must always do with less than you need in a situation vastly different from what you would have chosen as appropriate for your special endowments”. –Charlton Ogburn

Henri de Lubac

“It is not always charity, alas, which has grown greater, or which has become more enlightened: it is often faith, the taste for the things of eternity, which has grown less. Injustice and violence are still reigning; but they are now in the service of degraded passions”. –Henri de Lubac

J.G. Ballard

“Human beings today… are surrounded by huge institutions we can never penetrate: the City, the banking system, political advertising conglomerates, vast entertainment enterprises. They’ve made themselves user friendly, but they define the tastes to which we conform. They’re rather subtle, subservient tyrants, but no less sinister for that”. –J.G. Ballard

Theodor Adorno

“The most powerful person is he who is able to do least himself and burden others most with the things for which he lends his name and pockets the credit”. –Theodor Adorno
