Hannah Arendt
“The truth is that the masses grew out of the fragments of a highly atomized society whose competitive structure and concomitant loneliness of the individual had been held in check only through membership in a class. The chief characteristic of the mass man is not brutality and backwardness, but his isolation and lack of normal social relationships. Coming from the class-ridden society of the nation-state, whose cracks had been cemented with nationalistic sentiment, it is only natural that these masses, in the first helplessness of their new experience, have tended toward an especially violent nationalism, to which mass leaders have yielded against their own instincts and purposes for purely demagogic reasons.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Morgan Housel
“There is the old pilot quip that their jobs are “hours and hours of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.” It’s the same in investing.”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

John Hodgman
“These violent delights will have violent ends!” My son didn’t get the Westworld reference.”
John Hodgman, Medallion Status: True Stories from Secret Rooms

“There is a phrase from World War I describing warfare as “months of boredom punctuated by moments of terror.” The same applies to long spacecraft missions. And it was a long and frankly terrifying hour as they awaited the hoped-for signal to return from New Horizons.”
Alan Stern, Chasing New Horizons: Inside Humankind's First Mission to Pluto

Jason Fung
“We are wired for feast and famine, not feast, feast, feast.”
Jason Fung, The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting
