“My point is that life on earth can take care of itself. In the thinking of a human being, a hundred years in a long time. A hundred years ago, we didn't have cars and airplanes and computers and vaccines...It was a whole different world. But to the earth, a hundred years is *nothing*. A million years is *nothing*. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try. We have been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we are gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us."

- Ian Malcolm”
Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

Francis Fukuyama
“Free markets are necessary to promote long-term growth, but they are not self-regulating, particularly when it comes to banks and other large financial institutions.”
Francis Fukuyama, The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution

Frank Herbert
“No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero”
Frank Herbert, Dune

“Before you promise freedom and equality, can you promise bread and milk?”
Yoshiki Tanaka, Dawn

Xi Jinping
“While tackling the refugee crisis, we should also get to its roots. Why would anyone want to be displaced if they had a home to return to?”
Xi Jinping
