Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem—in my opinion—to characterize our age.
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.
—Judith Viorst (20th century)

How much disgruntled heaviness, lameness, dampness, dressing gown—how much beer there is in the German intelligence! How is it at all possible that young men who dedicate their lives to the most spiritual goals do not feel the first instinct of spirituality, the spirit’s instinct of self-preservation—and drink beer?... The alcoholism of the young scholars is perhaps no question mark concerning their scholarliness—without spirit one can still be a great scholar—but in every other respect it remains a problem.—Where would one not find the gentle degeneration which beer produces in the spirit?
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
