"Tom Paine's Common Sense, which appeared in early 1776 and became the most popular pamphlet in the American colonies, did this. It made the first bold argument for independence, in words that any fairly literate person could understand: “Society in every state is a blessing, but Government even in its best state is but a necessary evil. .. .” " Feb 16, 2017 03:23PM

George  Marshall
“The bottom line is that we do not accept climate change because we wish to avoid the anxiety it generates and the deep changes it requires. In this regard, it is not unlike any other major threat. However, because it carries none of the clear markers that would normally lead our brains to overrule our short-term interests, we actively conspire with each other, and mobilize our own biases to keep it perpetually in the background.”
George Marshall, Don't Even Think About It: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change

Chris Hedges
“America was founded on an imagined moral superiority and purity. The fact that dominance of others came, and still comes, from unrestrained acts of violence is washed out of the national narrative. The steadfast failure to face the truth, Baldwin warned, perpetuates a kind of collective psychosis. Unable to face the truth, white Americans stunt and destroy their capacity for self-reflection and self-criticism. They construct a world of self-serving fantasy. Those who imbibe the myth of whiteness externalize evil—their own evil—onto their victims. Racism, Baldwin understood, is driven by an inner loneliness and latent guilt.”
Chris Hedges, America: The Farewell Tour

Sabine Hossenfelder
“Sometimes the only scientific answer we can give is “We don’t know.”
Sabine Hossenfelder, Existential Physics: A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions

Adam M. Grant
“Argue like you’re right and listen like you’re wrong.”
Adam M. Grant, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World

Joseph S. Nye Jr.
“A moral vision must be balanced by the realist dimension of prudence to have a reasonable prospect of success.”
Joseph S. Nye Jr., Presidential Leadership and the Creation of the American Era
