Questlove
“That’s the old Roots adage, to make sure that every album work on three levels: as a personal statement, as a statement about hip-hop, and as a statement about the world.”
Questlove, Mo' Meta Blues, la musique selon Questlove: L´Autobiographie du batteur de The Roots

“I don't want to tell you how much auto insurance I carry with the Prudential, but all I can say is: when I go, they go too.”
Terry Calvert

Joseph Henrich
“Monogamous marriage changes men psychologically, even hormonally, and has downstream effects on societies. Although this form of marriage is neither “natural” nor “normal” for human societies—and runs directly counter to the strong inclinations of high-status or elite men—it nevertheless can give religious groups and societies an advantage in intergroup competition. By suppressing male-male competition and altering family structure, monogamous marriage shifts men’s psychology in ways that tend to reduce crime, violence, and zero-sum thinking while promoting broader trust, long-term investments, and steady economic accumulation”
Joseph Henrich, The Weirdest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous

Winston Churchill
“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”
Winston Churchill

Mark Twain
“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.”
Mark Twain
