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

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

“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

Voltaire
“All that is very well," answered Candide, "but let us cultivate our garden.”
Voltaire, Candide

“it’s the ones who empower a dictator who deserve most of the blame. But the ones who don’t support him actively—who watch it happening without saying anything—they’re just as much to blame.”
Yoshiki Tanaka, Dawn
