Stephen W. Hawking
“Quiet people have the loudest minds.”
Stephen Hawking

Steven D. Levitt
“The conventional wisdom is often wrong.”
Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Ward Farnsworth
“I myself don’t know the facts of these matters, but I’ve never met anyone, including the people here today, who could disagree with what I’m saying and still avoid making himself ridiculous.”
Ward Farnsworth, The Socratic Method: A Practitioner's Handbook

Whitney Johnson
“Be in beta. Do things badly. Abandon perfectionism. Following this advice can seem nearly impossible when pitted against our identity. But when we allow ourselves to go into the rapid iteration of trial and error, like a child learning to walk, the feel-good neurological response just may charm away the snake of a strangling ego.”
Whitney Johnson

Kory Stamper
“English has a lot of synonyms for “fool” or “idiot.” Perhaps you take this to mean that English speakers are mean-spirited; I simply reply that necessity is the mother of invention.”
Kory Stamper, Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries
