1 " The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen. "
― Aldous Huxley
2 " With a true masterpiece, there are no words required. Discourse is rendered redundant. That's why the work of a master transcends all notions of education, of class. It rises above the onlooker's understanding of what is considered good or bad, or right or wrong in the world of art. With the artist who has achieved mastery, skill, experience and knowledge are transparent, leaving only the message for all to see. "
― Jacqueline Winspear , Messenger of Truth (Maisie Dobbs, #4)
3 " Underneath all notions of justice is a set of faith assumptions that are essentially religious, and these are often not acknowledged. "
― Timothy J. Keller , Generous Justice: How God's Grace Makes Us Just
4 " In the final analysis, what is it that we call popular, democratic power? Beyond the expressed will of the people, as it is supposedly formulated, there is no appeal; here we meet the absolute, the universal, the indivisible, and the immovable. There is nothing a priori, nothing anterior to democratic power; no ideas of truth, no notions of good or bad, can bind the Popular Will. This 'will' is free in the sense that it stands above all notions of value. It is egalitarian because it is reared on arithmetic equality..It is not open to any appeal, it listens to no demand for grace, no plea for compassion. Like the Sphinx, the Popular Will is immovable in its enigmatic silence. "
― Tage Lindbom , The Myth of Democracy
5 " To become a true global citizen, one must abandon all notions of otherness and instead embrace togetherness. "
