The highest form of literary subtlety, in a corrupt social order, is to tell the plain truth-- Edward Abbey
Carl Jung, who pioneered our understanding of the subconscious, wrote that when humans are unaware of their "inner contradictions, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposite halves." We externalize the side of us that we do not want to own. We look for scapegoats. Instead of getting upset about the possibility that humanity's present course could end civilization as we know it, we get angry with those who name the problems.—Julene Bair
"The basis for optimism is sheer terror." – Oscar Wilde
Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness. . .
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur, you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.
- Emily Dickenson
