“Although I’m terrified of hurting other people’s feelings, when it comes to challenging their thoughts, I have no fear. In fact, when I argue with someone, it’s not a display of disrespect—it’s a sign of respect. It means I value their views enough to contest them. If their opinions didn’t matter to me, I wouldn’t bother. I know I have chemistry with someone when we find it delightful to prove each other wrong.”
― Adam M. Grant, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know

― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

“The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity...”
