In man's life, the absence of an essential component usually leads to the adoption of a substitute. The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. Thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.
- Eric Hoffer
Pride is an established conviction of one's own paramount worth in some particular respect; while vanity is the desire of rousing such a conviction in others.

the fold.
-- Bertrand de Jouvenal
Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself.
-- Desiderius Erasmus
The revulsion from an unwanted self, and the impulse to forget it, mask it,

collective whole.
-- Eric Hoffer
To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by
