Michel Houellebecq
“The past is always beautiful. So, for that matter, is the future. Only the present hurts, and we carry it around like an abscess of suffering, our compassion between two infinities of happiness and peace.”
Michel Houellebecq, Soumission

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Start by being nice to every person you meet. But if someone tries to exercise power over you, exercise power over him.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life

David  Brooks
“The cognitive sciences have replaced literature as the way many people attempt to understand their own minds.”
David Brooks, The Road to Character

David Brooks, The Road to Character

David  Brooks
“We don’t become better because we acquire new information. We become better because we acquire better loves. We don’t become what we know. Education is a process of love formation. When you go to a school, it should offer you new things to love.”
David Brooks, The Road to Character
