The people of your culture cling with fanatical tenacity to the specialness of man. They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitle s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness. (Quote by - Daniel Quinn)

All Australians are an uneducated and unruly mob. (Quote by - Douglas Jardine )

A fanatic, either, religious or political, is the subject of strong delusions. (Quote by - Archbishop Richard Whately)
