Mean Quotes
Stirner and Nietzsche [adopt] a mode of thinking which is personal, introspective, and which while often operating on alternative systems of belief and action does so only as a means of better grasping one dominant goal the patterns of individual redemption.

Believe Quotes
Modern anthropology ... opposes the utilitarian assumption that the primitive chants as he sows seed because he believes that otherwise it will not grow, the assumption that his economic goal is primary, and his other activities are instrumental to it.

Cards Quotes

Now it seems, viewed from the outside, that these papers are like cards in a deck: you shuffle them, you deal them, you fold them, and the meaning of them as an institution in the community seems to have been lost.
