Ursula K. Le Guin
“I wish the ideals of respecting truth and sharing the goods hadn’t become so foreign to my country that my country begins to seem foreign to me.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, No Time To Spare: Thinking About What Matters

Robert Greene
“Right now, you are living off the fruits of millions of people in the past
who have made your life incomparably easier through their struggles
and inventions. You have benefited from an education that embodies
the wisdom of thousands of years of experience. It is so easy to take
this all for granted, to imagine that it all just came about naturally and
that you are entitled to have all of these powers. That is the view of
spoiled children, and you must see any signs of such an attitude within
you as shameful. This world needs constant improvement and renewal.
You are here not merely to gratify your impulses and consume what
others have made but to make and contribute as well, to serve a higher
purpose.”
Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Excess wealth, if you don't need it, is a heavy burden.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Edward O. Wilson
“The most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those who have not viewed the world.”
Edward O. Wilson, Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life
