"Ik had altijd gedacht dat een hovercraft volkomen stabiel over het water gleed, maar niets was minder waar. We begrepen waarom de aardige stewardess al voordat we uit de haven waren vertrokken was langsgekomen met de vraag of we wat wilden drinken; wanneer ze dat na de afvaart had gedaan, hadden we beleefd geweigerd." 21 hours, 18 min ago

"Na het lezing van Voorspel en het Nawoord bij de vertaling heb ik toegegeven aan de onbedwingbare lust om het origineel aan te schaffen en dat (ook!) te lezen.

Mijn Frans is bij lange na niet zo goed meer als pakweg 50 jaar geleden, omdat ik het in zo'n 45 jaar nauwelijks nog gebruikt heb.... maar met de Nederlandse vertaling van Josephine Rijnaarts via de (online) bieb, moet het lukken!"

Jeanette Winterson
“There’s a new kind of quasi-religious discourse forming, with its own followers, its creed, its orthodoxy, its heretics, its priests, its literature, its eschatological framework. Even its own Singularity.
It’s AI.”
Jeanette Winterson, 12 Bytes: How We Got Here. Where We Might Go Next

Ha-Joon Chang
“Once poor people are persuaded that their poverty is their own fault, that whoever has made a lot of money must deserve it and that they too could become rich if they tried hard enough, life becomes easier for the rich.”
Ha-Joon Chang, Economics: The User's Guide: A Pelican Introduction

Mark Twain
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
Mark Twain

Stendhal
“All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.”
Stendhal

Ha-Joon Chang
“Economics is a political argument. It is not – and can never be – a science; there are no objective truths in economics that can be established independently of political, and frequently moral, judgements. Therefore, when faced with an economic argument, you must ask the age-old question ‘Cui bono?’ (Who benefits?), first made famous by the Roman statesman and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero.”
Ha-Joon Chang, Economics: The User's Guide
