William J. Bernstein
“In Battuta's obsession with sharia and the Muslim world and in his lack of interest in nearly everything outside it we clearly see the double-edged sword of Islam so visible in today's world: an ecumenical but self-satisfied faith capable of uniting far-flung peoples under one system of belief and one regime of law, but also severely limited in its capacity to examine and borrow from others.”
William J Bernstein, A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World

Yuval Noah Harari
“For thousands of years priests, rabbis and muftis explained that humans cannot overcome famine, plague and war by their own efforts. Then along came the bankers, investors and industrialists, and within 200 years managed to do exactly that.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow

Winston Churchill
“The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.”
Winston Churchill

Yuval Noah Harari
“If Marx came back to life today, he would probably urge his few remaining disciples to devote less time to reading Das Kapital and more time to studying the Internet and the human genome.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow

Malcolm Gladwell
“Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success
