Yuval Noah Harari
“Ever since the Cognitive Revolution, Sapiens have thus been living in a dual reality. On the one hand, the objective reality of rivers, trees and lions; and on the other hand, the imagined reality of gods, nations and corporations. As time went by, the imagined reality became ever more powerful, so that today the very survival of rivers, trees and lions depends on the grace of imagined entities such as the United States and Google.”
Yuval Noah Harari

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“A ‘normal person’ is what is left after society has squeezed out all unconventional opinions and aspirations out of a human being.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Khaled Hosseini
“There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood.”
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

Arundhati Roy
“…imagine that the earth—four thousand six hundred million years old—[were] a forty-six-year-old woman…. It had taken the whole of the Earth Woman’s life for the earth to become what it was. For the oceans to part. For the mountains to rise. The Earth Woman was eleven years old…when the first single-celled organisms appeared. The first animals, creatures like worms and jellyfish, appeared only when she was forty. She was over forty-five—just eight months ago—when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The whole of human civilization as we know it began only two hours ago in the Earth Woman’s life…. It was an awe-inspiring and humbling thought…that the whole of contemporary history, the World Wars, the War of Dreams, the Man on the Moon, science, literature, philosophy, the pursuit of knowledge—was no more than a blink of the Earth Woman’s eye.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

Charles Bukowski
“People don't need love. What they need is success in one form or another. It can be love but it needn't be.”
Charles Bukowski, Factotum
