H. P. Blavatsky
At the age of 16, she married the much older man, and some months later began more than 20 years of extensive travel, bringing her into contact with mystic traditions the world over.

She traveled several times to Tibet, which at that time was practically inaccessable to foreigners. "The Secret Doctrine" was published in 1888 is her most famous work, in the same year, aided by W. Q. Judge, she formed the Esoteric Section of The Theosophical Society. Shortly afterwards she wrote "The Key to Theosophy" and "The Voice of the Silence".

It is this pernicious doctrine of ever relying upon extraneous help that leads to the collapse - physical, mental, moral, and spiritual - of well-meaning, but weak and unbalanced minds. It slays the patient of the mesmerizer and the mental healer, the neophyte of the sorcerer, and the dilettante of Reform.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Nietzsche was a 19th-century German philosopher and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science. Nietzsche challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality. He believed in life, creativity, health, and the realities of the world we live in, rather than those situated in a world beyond. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism.
