Frank Herbert
“History is a constant race between invention and catastrophe. Education helps but it’s never enough. You also must run.”
Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune

Adam M. Grant
“Polarization is reinforced by conformity: peripheral members fit in and gain status by following the lead of the most prototypical member of the group, who often holds the most intense views.”
Adam M. Grant, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know

Paul Kalanithi
“You can’t ever reach perfection, but you can believe in an asymptote toward which you are ceaselessly striving.”
Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“No muscles without strength, friendship without trust, opinion without consequence, change without aesthetics, age without values, life without effort, water without thirst, food without nourishment, love without sacrifice, power without fairness, facts without rigor, statistics without logic, mathematics without proof, teaching without experience, politeness without warmth, values without embodiment, degrees without erudition, militarism without fortitude, progress without civilization, friendship without investment, virtue without risk, probability without ergodicity, wealth without exposure, complication without depth, fluency without content, decision without asymmetry, science without skepticism, religion without tolerance, and, most of all: nothing without skin in the game.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life

Frank Herbert
“Small souls who seek power over others first destroy the faith those others might have in themselves.”
Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune
