Eric Hoffer, 1902-1983
was an American social writer and philosopher
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbors as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant of 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.
Cyril (Vernon) Connolly, 1903-1974
was an English intellectual, literary critic and writer
There are many who dare not kill themselves for fear of what the neighbors will say.
