Steven Pinker
“Trend-setters are members of upper classes who adopt the styles of lower classes to differentiate themselves from middle classes, who wouldn’t be caught dead in lower-class styles because they’re the ones in danger of being mistaken for them.”
Steven Pinker, How the Mind Works

Hannah Arendt
“The chief qualification of a mass leader has become unending infallibility: he can never admit an error.....The propaganda effect of infallibility, the striking success of posing as a mere interpreting agent of predictable forces, has encouraged in totalitarian dictators the habit of announcing their political intentions in the form of prophecy....Mass leaders in power have one concern wich overrules all utilitarian considerations: to make their predictions come true.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Victor Hugo
“You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again. & great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. & even loved in spite of ourselves.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Richard P. Feynman
“I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other guys--but the average of sixty-five other guys, certainly!”
Richard P. Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character

Richard P. Feynman
“I learned from her that every woman is worried
about her looks, no matter how beautiful she is.”
Richard P. Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character
