Lawrence Wright
“Whenever purity is paramount, terror is close at hand.”
Lawrence Wright, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11

Patrick Radden Keefe
“A 2016 study found that purchasing even a single meal with a value of $20 for a physician can be enough to change the way that he prescribes. And for all their lip service to the contrary, the Sacklers didn’t need studies to tell them this.”
Patrick Radden Keefe, Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty

Jia Tolentino
“Online reward mechanisms beg to substitute for offline ones, and then overtake them. This is why everyone tries to look so hot and well-traveled on Instagram; this is why everyone seems so smug and triumphant on Facebook; this is why, on Twitter, making a righteous political statement has come to seem, for many people, like a political good in itself. This practice is often called “virtue signaling,”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror

Patrick Radden Keefe
“The opioid crisis is, among other things, a parable about the awesome capability of private industry to subvert public institutions.”
Patrick Radden Keefe, Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty

Patrick Radden Keefe
“I think Upton Sinclair once wrote that a man has difficulty understanding something if his salary depends on his not understanding.”
Patrick Radden Keefe, Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty
