Nicolás Gómez Dávila
“When he is stripped of the Christian tunic and the classical toga, there is nothing left of the European but a pale-skinned barbarian.”
Nicolás Gómez Dávila

Nicolás Gómez Dávila
“Progress ages badly.
Each generation brings a new model of progressivism which discards with contempt the previous model.
Nothing is more grotesque than yesterday’s progressive.”
Nicolás Gómez Dávila, Escolios a una texto implícito: Selección

“Civilizations are the summer noise of insects between two winters.”
Nicolás Gómez Dávila, Escolios a una texto implícito: Selección

Jordan Ellenberg
“I think we need more math majors who don't become mathematicians. More math major doctors, more math major high school teachers, more math major CEOs, more math major senators. But we won't get there unless we dump the stereotype that math is only worthwhile for kid geniuses.”
Jordan Ellenberg, How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking

Stuart Rojstaczer
“The inability of Americans to value intellect is, to me, maddening. If someone possesses physical beauty they will not be cloistered or hidden in dark shadows. No, they are expected to be a source of pleasing scenery to others. We are not frightened in this country by beauty. We celebrate it, as we should. But what about beautiful brains, the kind that create amazing worlds out of nothing but thoughts, that can find a way to intricately bond elements of our lives that common wisdom tells us are inert? Why should anyone hide this intellect ever? No. Fuck boring financiers like Warren Buffett...there is no such thing as unnecessary beauty, physical or intellectual.”
Stuart Rojstaczer, The Mathematician's Shiva
