“Numbers, like language, are both a crutch and a filter.
They seem to help at first. They seem to describe the world in an accurate way. But in the end all they really do is distort what is right in front of you.”
― Christopher Schwarz, The Anarchist's Tool Chest

“Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.”
― Isaac Asimov

“Death and disaster are at our shoulders every second of our lives, trying to get at us. Missing, a lot of the time. A lot of miles on the motorway without a front wheel blow-out. A lot of viruses that slither through our bodies without snagging. A lot of pianos that fall a minute after we've passed. Or a month, it makes no difference. So unless we're going to get down on our knees and give thanks every time disaster misses, it makes no sense to moan when it strikes.”
― Hugh Laurie, The Gun Seller

“Don't condemn the mountain because its trails are steep. It's also a valuable and enjoyable part of climbing to struggle up a mountain step by step…If you're going to climb, make it a tall mountain. The view will be so much better.”
― Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books
