Peter Høeg
“In ten years they would be dead, deported or in leadership positions.”
Peter Hoeg

Isabel Allende
“Is there anything more vain than an autobiography?”
Isabel Allende, Inés of My Soul

Andrea Camilleri
“As they ate, they spoke of eating, as always happens in Italy.”
Andrea Camilleri, The Shape of Water

Stephen Jay Gould
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
Stephen Jay Gould, The Panda's Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History

James Gleick
“As a technology, the book is like a hammer. That is to say, it is perfect: a tool ideally suited to its task. Hammers can be tweaked and varied but will never go obsolete. Even when builders pound nails by the thousand with pneumatic nail guns, every household needs a hammer. Likewise, the bicycle is alive and well. It was invented in a world without automobiles, and for speed and range it was quickly surpassed by motorcycles and all kinds of powered scooters. But there is nothing quaint about bicycles. They outsell cars.”
James Gleick
