• I hate orthodox criticism. I don't mean great criticism, like that of Matthew Arnold and others, but the usual small niggling, fussy-mussy criticism, which thinks it can improve people by telling them where they are wrong, and results only in putting them in straitjackets of hesitancy and self-consciousness, and weazening all vision and bravery.

• Por lo tanto, la crítica tiene que dirigirse contra sí misma y contra la Sustancia misteriosa en la que hasta ahora se ha ocultado. De este modo, la crítica debe resolver las cosas de tal modo que el desarrollo de esta Substancia se impulse a sí misma hacia la Universalidad y la Certeza de la Idea de su existencia real, la Autoconciencia Eterna.

  Bruno Bauer

• To say that historical conditions made personal life possible, and with it the self-consciousness that allowed psychoanalysis to emerge, is to tell half the story: one also has to consider that the erotic impulse, ever pressing for satisfaction, had something to do with making the history that encouraged its expression.

• Man is the microcosm of the macrocosm ; the God on earth is built on the pattern of the God in nature. But the universal consciousness of the real Ego transcends a million fold the self-consciousness of the personal for false ego.

• It is certain that the real function of art is to increase our self-consciousness; to make us more aware of what we are, and therefore of what the universe in which we live really is. And since mathematics, in its own way, also performs this function, it is not only aesthetically charming but profoundly significant. It is an art, and a great art.

• "The people" is that massive portion of a society that lives by its pathetic subjection to sheer immediacy or self-obviousness, and that therefore uncritically seizes upon the most simplistic and abstract ways of filling its vacuous self-consciousness. Not philosophy but dogma and rhetoric, not rationality but indoctrination and conditioning, provide the cultural junkfood by which the Many perfunctorily slake their thirst and hunger.

• Ha sido una obsesión de los seres humanos crear una jerarquía que sitúe a la especie humana en lo más alto y agrupe a todos los "demás animales" por debajo de nosotros. El "especismo" resultante nos permite considerar a los animales menos merecedores de todo tipo de derechos y consideraciones que los humanos. Para justificar este estatus inferior, los humanos han argumentado que los animales actúan instintivamente, no tienen alma, no sienten dolor físico como nosotros y carecen de conciencia de sí mismos, inteligencia cognitiva, sentimientos emocionales, moralidad y ética.
