Hanna Arendt (Political philosopher) was a Holocaust survivor, political philosopher and author.
One of her influential books was "
The origins of totalitarianism" published in 1951.
I studied her book in college (as part of a history class requirement). After serving in the military, government position, a number of companies, and academia, I realized that many of the principles so well articulated by Hannah Arendt in her book were just as applicable to bureaucracies, whether governmental, business, academic or otherwise.
About 1996 I collected the most interesting quotes from those I had underlined in college.
About 2018 I collected some of those into this quote page that I could reference from other pages as relevant.
