"Love with delight discourses in my mind Upon my lady's admirable gifts... Beyond the range of human intellect." – Dante Alighieri, 'Il Convivio' (1304–1307).

"Freudian concepts exposed the fraud of the existence of the 'individual'. To be absolutely clear here: the Freudian concepts expose the fraud, not so as to perpetuate it, but undo it. That is, unlike the mechanical behaviorists, the point was not to prove that the individual was an illusion; rather it was to show to what extent the individual did not yet exist." – Russell Jacoby, Social Amnesia (1975)
