John Carroll
John Carroll
way christ harsh
Nietzsche ... combines, in effect, Christ's harsh sayings: 'let the dead bury their dead' and 'narrow is the way which leadeth unto life'.
religious men finals
Nietzsche saw in the Protestant ethic, in both its religious and secular (economic) forms, a final protest before the emergence into dominance of the ordered, bourgeois world of the 'last man' he who will pay any price in tedium for comfort and the absence of tension.
past bored discipline
Any attempt to break with the past, or with existing social structures, is a failure if it leads to a bored, listless, and colourless style of life; assertive and enduring innovation, like the mastering of a new environment, requires the confidence and discipline which are founded on exuberant emotions.
beautiful men animal
Man is more than an animal only in that he finds expression for the beautiful.
goal desire ants
For Dostoevsky, Fourier is one of the industrious ant-hill engineers, busy, protected by the delusion that his goal, the will-ordered society, is the summation of all his desires.
school order political
For Stirner, the social axiom of conservative, liberal, and socialist schools of political thought alike is in itself repressive: it disguises as potentially redemptive an order whose central function is inhibitory of the individual's interests.
children necks intention
In so far as the intention of education is to train the child for a vocation it is a millstone around his neck.
goal excellence acquisition
Dostoevsky believed that the gods of rationalism and materialist utilitarianism had joined in conspiracy against all other ethical systems. ... The accumulation of capital, or the acquisition of money, are endeavors par excellence which establish a quantifiable goal: hence they are directly amenable to maximization formulae.
fame famous people
Is fame without purpose and is fame without talent really where we are now? People used to be famous for what they did. Now, they're just famous.
turnaround
'Fargo' was the turnaround for me, in terms of film, because it was a part; it wasn't a line.
grotesque movies slasher
Psychological horror I've always appreciated, like 'Rosemary's Baby.' The slasher movies and the grotesque movies are the ones that I've really been off for a while.
key
Breathing is always key in any character. When you have a character with no voice, that makes it even more important.
harms
You can have the most wonderful motives for what you do, but if what you do harms other people, you're fooling yourself.
movies walked
I don't go to horror movies. I walked out of 'The Exorcist,' man.
