“For those who still believe our age’s disruptions match what happened after 1870, ask yourself which you would first give up, your iPhone or the flush toilet? Laptop or antibiotics? If you have trouble answering those, ponder life without electricity. It is a measure of our solipsism that we take for granted what went before.”
― Edward Luce, The Retreat of Western Liberalism

“La simpleza de los hombres, aun cuando se creen tan fuertes, los hace cristalinos, predecibles, pero las mujeres... ¿Quién conoce los pliegues infinitos de su alma, lo que pueden llegar a hacer para salvarse o perderse, para vengarse o humillarse, para esconderse o mostrarse según sus conveniencias?”
― Leonardo Padura, La neblina del ayer

“We are at war with our bodies, our minds, our souls. We are at war with one another. We wish we’d said all those things while they were still here. They’re still here, and we’re still not saying those things. We know we won’t. We don’t understand ourselves. We don’t understand why we hurt those we love. We want to be forgiven. We cannot forgive. We don’t understand God. We believe. We absolutely do not believe. We are lonely. We want to be left alone. We want to belong. We want to be loved. We want to be loved. We want to be loved.”
― Glennon Doyle, Untamed: Stop Pleasing, Start Living

“Corporations, money and nations exist only in our imagination. We invented them to serve us; why do we find ourselves sacrificing our lives in their service?”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
