Emma Donoghue
“When I was four I was watching ants walking up Stove and she ran and splatted them all so they wouldn’t eat our food. One minute they were alive and the next minute they were dirt. I cried so my eyes nearly melted off.”
Emma Donoghue, Room

Michael G. Kramer
“Although enemy forces had overrun the mortar and some gun positions, they did not have everything their own way.”
Michael G. Kramer, A Gracious Enemy

Frederick Forsyth
“one can forgive even what they did. But one can never forget.”
Frederick Forsyth, The Odessa File

Max Brooks
“I struggled so hard for a goal, without realizing that the goal is the struggle. It’s what makes me stronger, smarter, and better. Growth doesn’t come from a comfort zone, but from leaving it.”
Max Brooks, Minecraft: The Island

Ajay Agrawal
“Before machine learning, multivariate regression provided an efficient way to condition on multiple things, without the need to calculate dozens, hundreds, or thousands of conditional averages. Regression takes the data and tries to find the result that minimizes prediction mistakes, maximizing what is called “goodness of fit.”
Ajay Agrawal, Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence
