Bret Easton Ellis
“The fact that....you categorize everything as either sexist, or racist, or homophobic, whether it is or not, and therefore harmful to you and you just can't take it, is a kind of mania, a delusion, a psychosis that we have been coddling, encouraging people to think that life should be a smooth utopia built only for them and their fragile sensibility.”
Bret Easton Ellis

Arthur C. Brooks
“Liberals are more likely to see people as victims of circumstance and oppression, and doubt whether individuals can climb without governmental help.

Arthur C. Brooks
