“An antique saying has it that a man's life is incomplete unless or until he has tasted love, poverty, and war.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Love, Poverty, and War: Journeys and Essays

“As we care about more of humanity, we’re apt to mistake the harms around us for signs of how low the world has sunk rather than how high our standards have risen.”
― Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress

“Most actions do not aim at anybody’s defeat or loss. They aim at an improvement in conditions.”
― Ludwig von Mises, Human Action: A Treatise on Economics

“When I talk to anyone or read the writings of anyone who has any axe to grind, I feel that intellectual honesty and balanced judgement have simply disappeared from the face of the earth. Everyone’s thought is forensic, everyone is simply putting a “case” with deliberate suppression of his opponent’s point of view, and, what is more, with complete insensitiveness to any sufferings except those of himself and his friends.”
― George Orwell, Facing Unpleasant Facts: 1937-1939
