6. “The fury of a demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body; and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fiber of my frame.”
Edgar Allan Poe
Madness, Possession, Emotional Turmoil, Philosophical Insight, Psychological Horror, Existential Dread
7. “It is only when we have renounced our preoccupation with "I," "me," "mine," that we can truly possess the world in which we live. Everything, provided that we regard nothing as property. And not only is everything ours; it is also everybody else's.” Aldous Huxley Selflessness, Possession, Property, World View, Philosophical Insight, Universal Ownership
15. “Mine mine mine. That was the curse and power of human beings – that what they saw and loved they had to have. They could share it with other people but only if they conceived of those people as being somehow their own. What we own is ours. What you own should also be ours. In fact, you own nothing, if we want it. Because you are nothing. We are the real people, you are only posing as people in order to try to deprive us of what God means us to have.” Orson Scott Card Possession, Humanity, Love, Ownership, Selfishness, Dehumanization
20. “Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.” Jean-Paul Sartre Generosity, Selfish Giving, Human Nature, Giving, Possession, Altruism
