Albert Camus: “Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called ‘vital interests.”

Chuck Palahniuk: “Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need, and the things you own, end up owning you. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaries, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won’t. We’re slowly learning that fact.” ― Fight Club

Two simliar quotes:

Anais Nin: We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. Anais Nin

Carl Jung: It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.

One poem by Emily Dickinson

In this short life
That only lasts an hour
How much - how little - is
Within our power
