Robert Heinlein quotes:
• “I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
• “It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.”
• “A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.”
• “One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.”
• “The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.”
• “Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.”
• “Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat.”
• “You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.”

Hermann Hesse
b. 7-2-1877; Germany
d. 8-9-1962

Author Hermann Hesse wrote his novel Demien, a story of individuation, in a three week period in 1917 after undergoing Jungian analysis.

Hesse was awarded the 1946 Nobel Prize for Literature for The Glass Bead Game.

Hermann Hesse quotes:
• “I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.”
• “It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.”
• “The bourgeois prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to the deathly inner consuming fire.”
• “There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.”

Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann
b. 1-24-1776, Prussia
d. 6-25-1822, Berlin

Hofmann, one of the most influential authors of the Romantic movement (second half of the 18th century) is best known by his pen name, E. T. A. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus) Hoffmann.

Tchaikovsky was inspired to create the ballet The Nutcracker based on Hoffmann's “The Nutcracker and Mouse King”, and Jacques Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffmann is based on Hoffmann stories.

Carl Gustav Jung read Hoffman's The Devil's Elixirs and found its problems "palpably real", influencing his theory of archetypes.
(Jung in Context, ed. by Paul Bishop, 1999)

Homer

Ancient Greek poet Homer is traditionally said to be the author of the epics the Iliad and the Odyssey. Current scholarship no longer views "Homer" as a historic individual but rather as a personfication that evolved over generations to hold the oral traditions and the collective works of many poets.
