― Terry Pratchett, Jingo

“War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who remains.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Poppy War

“I thought that it was more likely the opposite. I must have shut grief out. Found it in books. Cried over fiction instead of the truth. The truth was unconfined, unadorned. There was no poetic language to it, no yellow butterflies, no epic floods. There wasn't a town trapped underwater or generations of men with the same name destined to make the same mistakes. The truth was vast enough to drown in.”
― Nina LaCour, We Are Okay

“What about confusing clutter? Information overload? Doesn't data have to be "boiled down" and "simplified"?

Clutter and confusion are failures of design, not attributes of information.”
― Edward R. Tufte, Envisioning Information
