Robert M. Pirsig
“To doubt the literal meaning of the words of Jesus or Moses incurs hostility from most people, but it’s just a fact that if Jesus or Moses were to appear today, unidentified, with the same message he spoke many years ago, his mental stability would be challenged.”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Siddhartha Mukherjee
“Nineteenth-century doctors often linked cancer to civilization: cancer, they imagined, was caused by the rush and whirl of modern life, which somehow incited pathological growth in the body. The link was correct, but the causality was not: civilization did not cause cancer, but by extending human life spans—civilization unveiled it.”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
