Nicholas Carr
“The Net’s interactivity gives us powerful new tools for finding information, expressing ourselves, and conversing with others. It also turns us into lab rats constantly pressing levers to get tiny pellets of social or intellectual nourishment.”
Nicholas G. Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

Oliver Sacks
“If a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self—himself—he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it.”
Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales

George Pólya
“Nothing is more important than to see the sources of invention which are, in my opinion, more interesting than the inventions themselves.”
George Pólya, How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method

Cal Newport
“If you want to love what you do, abandon the passion mindset (“what can the world offer me?”) and instead adopt the craftsman mindset (“what can I offer the world?”).”
Cal Newport, So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love

George Pólya
“It is generally useless to carry out details without having seen the main connection, or having made a sort of plan.”
