Yuval Noah Harari
“Fiction isn't bad. It is vital. Without commonly accepted stories about things like money, states or corporations, no complex human society can function. We can't play football unless everyone believes in the same made-up rules, and we can't enjoy the benefits of markets and courts without similar make-believe stories. But stories are just tools. They shouldn't become our goals or our yardsticks. When we forget that they are mere fiction, we lose touch with reality. Then we begin entire wars `to make a lot of money for the cooperation' or 'to protect the national interest'. Corporations, money and nations exist only in our imagination. We invented them to serve us; why do we find ourselves sacrificing our life in their service.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot

Stephen  King
“Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes, they win.”
Stephen King, The Shining

Malcolm X
“Anytime you find someone more successful than you are, especially when you're both engaged in the same business - you know they're doing something that you aren't.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

“And he made this all too rare journey with hard work and focus on his craft, any anger or disenchantment found not in a Twitter rant but in subtle and well-considered arguments in beautifully written prose, in deep work that allows us to enter into the minds of those often written out of history.”
Johny Pitts, Afropean: Notes from Black Europe
