| Den sanna överlägsenheten består som bekant av att man kan bli liten utan att bli mindre. | Ellen Margrete Nielsen |
| Det finns ingen bättre orsak att vara artig än överlägsenhet. | Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) |
| På en punkt är människan fortfarande överlägsen maskinen. Hon kan sälja sig själv. | Stanislaw Jerzy Lec (1906-1966) |
| If you do not raise your eyes you will think you are the highest point. | Antonio Porchia (1886-1968) |
| A pas de deux is a dialogue of love. How can there be conversation if one partner is dumb? | Rudolf Nureyev (1938-1993) |
| Whoever envies another confesses his superiority | Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) |
| Male superiority in former days was easily demonstrated, because if a woman questioned her husband's he could beat her. From superiority in this respect others were thought to follow. Men were more reasonable than women, more inventive, less swayed b | Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) |
| The people of your culture cling with fanatical tenacity to the specialness of man. They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness. | Daniel Quinn |
