Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder

Michel Houellebecq, Serotonina

David Brooks, The Road to Character

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

David  Brooks
“We can be knowledgeable with other men’s knowledge, but we can’t be wise with other men’s wisdom.”
David Brooks, The Road to Character
