Christopher Hitchens
“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the ‘transcendent’ and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Don’t be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will provide plenty of time for silence.”
Christopher Hitchens

Theodore Roosevelt
“It was a pleasure to deal with a man of high ideals, who scorned everything mean and base, and who possessed those robust and hardy qualities of body and mind, for the lack of which no merely negative virtue can ever atone.”
Theodore Roosevelt, The Rough Riders

Norman Vincent Peale
“People who make no mistakes lack boldness and the spirit of adventure. They are the brakes on the wheels of progress.”
Norman Vincent Peale

Susan Sontag
“Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead.”
Susan Sontag
