Kenneth M. Clark
“The moral and intellectual failure of Marxism has left us with no alternative to heroic materialism, and that isn't enough.”
Kenneth Clark

Ryszard Kapuściński
“Herein lies the attractiveness of ethnic agitation: its ease and accessibility. The Other is visible, everyone can recognize and remember his image. One doesn’t have to read books, think, discuss: it is enough just to look.”
Ryszard Kapuściński, The Shadow of the Sun: My African Life

James Gleick
“You don’t see something until you have the right metaphor to let you perceive it”
James Gleick, Chaos: Making a New Science

Richard Dawkins
“It was harder to work out that there was a question than to think of the answer.”
Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

Jared Diamond
“History as well as life itself is complicated -- neither life nor history is an enterprise for those who seek simplicity and consistency.”
Jared Diamond, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
