Eric Hoffer Quotes
«That which corrodes the souls of the persecuted is the monstrous inner agreement with the prevailing prejudice against them.»
«Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to where we came from.»
«The suspicious mind believes more than it doubts. It believes in a formidable and ineradicable evil lurking in every person.»
«The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.»
«It is also plausible that those movements with the greatest inner contradiction between profession and practice-that is to say with a strong feeling of guilt-are likely to be the most fervent in imposing their faith on others»
