“If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.” - Bonhoeffer

“As far as we can see this dynamic urge to a assert oneself under all circumstances is common to both children and adults. There’s no way of exterminating it. Human nature does not tolerate permanent submission; humanity has even overthrown its gods. This feeling of degradation and depreciation, the mood of uncertainty and inferiority always give rise to a desire for reaching a higher level in order to obtain compensation and completeness.” - Alfred Adler, The Education of Children, 1930
