Yuval Noah Harari
“There is some evidence that the size of the average Sapiens brain has actually decreased since the age of foraging.5 Survival in that era required superb mental abilities from everyone. When agriculture and industry came along people could increasingly rely on the skills of others for survival, and new ‘niches for imbeciles’ were opened up. You could survive and pass your unremarkable genes to the next generation by working as a water carrier or an assembly-line worker.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Lewis Black
“Oh sure, I have regrets, but that's the nice thing about age. Regrets fade. And eventually, you die.”
Lewis Black, I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas

Georgi Gospodinov
“Боли ме тук, нещо вляво долу, може да е апендикс.
Без диагнози, ако обичате. Апендиксът е отдясно. Няма какво да ви боли там в ляво.Как така няма?
Така. Там няма нищо.
А мен точно това нищо ме боли.”
Георги Господинов, Физика на тъгата

Yuval Noah Harari
“The Scientific Revolution has not been a revolution of knowledge. It has been above all a revolution of ignorance. The great discovery that launched the Scientific Revolution was the discovery that humans do not know the answers to their most important questions. Premodern traditions of knowledge such as Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Confucianism asserted that everything that is important to know about the world was already known. The great gods, or the one almighty God, or the wise people of the past possessed all-encompassing wisdom, which they revealed to us in scriptures and oral traditions. Ordinary mortals gained knowledge by delving into these ancient texts and traditions and understanding them properly. It was inconceivable that the Bible, the Qur’an or the Vedas were missing out on a crucial secret of the universe – a secret that might yet be discovered by flesh-and-blood creatures.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari
“Voltaire said about God that ‘there is no God, but don’t tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night’. Hammurabi would have said the same about his principle of hierarchy, and Thomas Jefferson about human rights. Homo sapiens has no natural rights, just as spiders, hyenas and chimpanzees have no natural rights. But don’t tell that to our servants, lest they murder us at night.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
