Walter Isaacson
“One way to remember who you are is to remember who your heroes are.”
Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

Joseph E. Stiglitz
“There are two visions of America a half century from now. One is of a society more divided between the haves and the have-nots, a country in which the rich live in gated communities, send their children to expensive schools, and have access to first-rate medical care. Meanwhile, the rest live in a world marked by insecurity, at best mediocre education, and in effect rationed health care―they hope and pray they don't get seriously sick. At the bottom are millions of young people alienated and without hope. I have seen that picture in many developing countries; economists have given it a name, a dual economy, two societies living side by side, but hardly knowing each other, hardly imagining what life is like for the other. Whether we will fall to the depths of some countries, where the gates grow higher and the societies split farther and farther apart, I do not know. It is, however, the nightmare towards which we are slowly marching.”
Joseph E. Stiglitz, The Price of Inequality: How Today's Divided Society Endangers Our Future

“Public interest has been subordinated to private interest, and when there is no clear distinction between them, it opens the door to endless opportunities for corruption.”48”
Nancy MacLean, Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America

Jean M. Russell
“Thrivability emerges from each of us holding the persistent intention to be generative: that is to say, to create more value than we consume.”
Jean M. Russell, Thrivability: Breaking Through to a World That Works

Alan Alda
“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”
Alan Alda
