W.E.B. Du Bois
“There are great groups,—now with common history, now with common interests, now with common ancestry; more and more common experience and present interest drive back foe common blood and foe world today consists, not of races, but of the imperial commercial group of master capitalists, international and predominantly white; the national middle classes of the several nations, white, yellow, and brown, with strong blood bonds, common languages, and common history; the international laboring class of all colors; the backward, oppressed groups of nature-folk, pre­dominantly yellow, brown, and black.
Two questions arise from the work and relations of these groups: how to furnish goods and services for the wants of men and how equitably and sufficiently to satisfy these wants.”
W. E. B. Du Bois

William James
“In the end nothing less than the whole of everything can be the truth of anything at all”
William James

Augustine of Hippo
“This is the source of our moaning when one dies—the gloom of sorrow, the steeping of the heart in tears, all sweetness turned to bitterness—and the feeling of death in the living, because of the loss of the life of the dying.”
St. Augustine

Augustine of Hippo
“But thou, taking thy own secret counsel and noting the real point to her desire, didst not grant what she was then asking in order to grant to her the thing that she had always been asking.”
St. Augustine

Mary McCarthy
“Foreknowledge of the consequences of an act that is then performed generally argues the will to do it; if this occurs repeatedly, and the doer continues to protest that he did not will the consequences, this suggests an extreme and dangerous disassociation of the personality.”
Mary McCarthy
