Adults who still derive childlike pleasure from hanging gifts of a ready-made education on the Christmas tree of a child waiting outside the door to life do not realize how unreceptive they are making the children to everything that constitutes the true surprise of life.

The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.

Utdrag ur skadeanmälningar till Skandia:
Då det ej fanns något tvistemål om vem som skulle köra, fortsatte undertecknade vilket även herr Rose'n gjorde med sammanstötning som följd.
Jag har blifvit öfvererkörd af en atemobil med 90 kilm. i timmen och vill ha pengar för de. Utsikterna på vägen va godt och 8 meter bred. Jag föste mi ko öfver vägen och hålte på att springa tillbaka då biltermoristen var öfver mig. Ett revben vräkte han inåt och tri av tänderna låge kvar. Ä de fasoner de. Nä nä. Srif mej till och lemna 1,000 kr annars blir de laga sak åvet.
Jag trodde rutan var nedfälld, men jag märkte när jag stack ut huvudet genom den att den var stängd.
En fotgängare kolliderade med mej och for under min bil.
Jag tutade, med bilhornet gick inte, för det var stulet.
Olyckhändelsen orsakades av att vägen krökte.
För att undvika kollisionen körde jag på den andra bilen.
Jag kolliderade med en stillastående spårvagn som kom från motsatta hållet.
Jag körde över en karl: han erkände att felet var hans, för han hade blivit överkörd förut.
Kon gick emot bilen: efteråt fick jag veta att hon inte var riktigt klok!
Motorcyklisten avled senare av skador som han tillfogades på Karlstads Lasarett.
Jag föll i vägbanan. Min man fortsatte med sin moped och körde sedan i diket. Om jag fick hjälp eller om jag reste mig själv minns jag inte. Men när min man kom tillbaka och fick se att jag överlevt blev chocken för svår för honom så han föll ner avsvimmad.
Jag stannade vid övergångstället då motparten körde mej i stjärten utan min tillåtelse.
Vittnet kallade sig själv för gentleman, men jag tror det är riktigare att kalla honom för garageföreståndare.
Det fanns en mängd åskådare men inga vittnen...
Min fru har stortvätt på tisdagarna och när jag återvände hem på kvällen fick jag vindrutan och två tänder utslagna.
Den andra vagnen kolliderade med min utan att giva någon som helst varning om sina avsikter.
Min man mådde illa, så det gällde att få tag i en annan man...
Jag vet inte vems felet var att vi båda fumlade, tvekade och kolliderade...
Den kvinnliga föraren fick hela frampartiet intryckt.
Olyckan berodde på att vägen svängde och var bevuxen med buskar och träd.
Vid kollisionstillfället befann jag mig i sittande ställning på Dr Lindgrens toilett, varför jag icke kunde göra något för att avvärja skadan.
Den döde kom cycklande från vänster...

It is the style of idealism to console itself for the loss of something old with the ability to gape at something new.

Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth. The difference, therefore, does not operate in every sense, but it does in most of them. Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other.

Nothing is more witty and grotesque than ancient mythology and Christianity; that is because they are so mystical.

Generalists, people with moderately strong attachments to many ideas, should be hard to interrupt, and once interrupted, should have weaker, shorter negative reactions since they have alternative paths to realize their plans. Specialists, people with stronger attachments to fewer ideas, should be easier to interrupt, and once interrupted, should have stronger, more sustained negative reactions because they have fewer alternative pathways to realize their plans. Generalists should be the upbeat, positive people in the profession while specialists should be their grouchy, negative counterparts.

Wit as an instrument of revenge is as infamous as art is as a means of sensual titillation.

In the domain of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.

Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.

I did a little theatre work after that and the following year I got another part in a television series. Then it was almost to the end of the year before I got more work. That was coming to terms with the reality of the vocation I had chosen.

What torture, this life in society! Often someone is obliging enough to offer me a light, and in order to oblige him I have to fish a cigarette out of my pocket.

As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.

Man is a creative retrospection of nature upon itself.

Considered subjectively, philosophy always begins in the middle, like an epic poem.

Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship. We should replace it by a more modest and more realistic principle - the principle that the fight against avoidable misery should be a recognized aim of public policy, while the increase of happiness should be left, in the main, to private initiative.
