Steven Pinker
“The age distribution of a population changes slowly, as each demographic pig makes its way through the population python.”
― Steven Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined

“As we encounter each other, we see our diversity — of background, race, ethnicity, belief – and how we handle that diversity will have much to say about whether we will in the end be able to rise successfully to the great challenges we face today.”
― Dan Smith, The State of the World Atlas
