“People in power literally act like someone with brain damage. Not only are they more impulsive, self-centred, reckless, arrogant and rude than average, they are more likely to cheat on their spouses, are less attentive to other people and less interested in others’ perspectives. They’re also more shameless,”

“Dictators and despots, governors and generals-they all to often resort to brute force to prevent scenarios that exist only in their own heads, on the assumption that the average Joe is ruled by self-interest, just like them.”

“The news, according to dozens of studies, is a mental health hazard.”

“It seems we have to face a painful fact. ‘The mechanism that makes us the kindest species,’ says Brian Hare, puppy expert, ‘also makes us the cruelest species on the planet.’1 People are social animals, but we have a fatal flaw: we feel more affinity for those who are most like us.”

“V ľudoch sa hromadí hnev na Západ, na Ameriku, na Úniu, na Vás. Vediem centrum drogovo závislých. Už roky navštevujem konferencie v celej Európe. Vždy opakujem, my žijeme ináč, ale problémy sú tie isté: ako dať deťom lepšiu buducnosť, starcom dôstojnu smrť, svetu mier. Ale pre vás život v mieri znamená život podľa vašich pravidiel. Hovoríte, že islam je spiatočnícky, že naša demokracia je slabá a tradície sú hlúpe. Nanucujete nám zmeny lebo vy najlepšie viete, ako sa má žiť v 21. storočí. Ak sa pokušame zmenit, veď od cias Ataturka nič ine nerobíme, smejete sa na nám.”
