Jesse’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives

Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives by Siddharth Kara

1 note & 28 highlights

The Katanga region in the southeastern corner of the Congo holds more reserves of cobalt than the rest of the planet combined.

Very unfortunate DRC doesn't benefit!

1 note & 94 highlights

“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

“In my experience, men who respond to good fortune with modesty and kindness are harder to find than those who face adversity with courage. For in the very nature of things, success tends to create pride and blindness in the hearts of men, while suffering teaches them to be patient and strong.”
