Yuval Noah Harari
“In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power.”
Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Yuval Noah Harari
“So if you want to know the truth about the universe, about the meaning of life, and about your own identity, the best place to start is by observing suffering and exploring what it is.
The answer isn’t a story.”
Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

“people need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another.”
Ann Patchett, What Now?

Maria Popova
“What is love, after all, if not an affectionate acceptance of the lover's full spectrum of being, the silly along with the solemn?”
Maria Popova, Figuring

Steven Pinker
“If the multiverse turns out to be the best explanation of the fundamental physical constants, it would not be the first time we have been flabbergasted by worlds beyond our noses. Our ancestors had to swallow the discovery of the Western Hemisphere, eight other planets, a hundred billion stars in our galaxy (many with planets), and a hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe. If reason contradicts intuition once again, so much the worse for intuition. Another advocate of the multiverse, Brian Greene, reminds us:
“From a quaint, small, earth-centered universe to one filled with billions of galaxies, the journey has been both thrilling and humbling. We’ve been compelled to relinquish sacred belief in our own centrality, but with such cosmic demotion we’ve demonstrated the capacity of the human intellect to reach far beyond the confines of ordinary experience to reveal extraordinary truth.”
Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress
