Timothy Snyder
“History allows us to see patterns and make judgements. It sketches for us the structures within which we can seek freedom. It reveals moments, each one of them different, none entirely unique. To understand one moment is to see the possibility of being cocreator of another.”
Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century - Graphic Edition

Jon Krakauer
“You'll never feel the joy of movement if you're struggling.”
Jon Krakauer, Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains

Ruth Benedict
“The lenses through which any nation looks at life are not the ones another nation uses.”
Ruth Benedict

Erich Maria Remarque
“We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer, we believe in war.”
Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
tags: war, youth

Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa
