Christy Lefteri
“People are not like bees. We do not work together, we have no real sense of a greater good – I’ve come to realise this now.”
Christy Lefteri, The Beekeeper of Aleppo

Elizabeth Kolbert
“This is the case even though a hundred million years from now, all that we consider to be the great works of man—the sculptures and the libraries, the monuments and the museums, the cities and the factories—will be compressed into a layer of sediment not much thicker than a cigarette paper.”
Elizabeth Kolbert, The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

“But what a language this was! For a foreigner, English is like a huge building which one has to get to know and, as somebody remarked, the closer you come to it, the taller and more daunting it appears. (One sign of its sheer size was that my best two-volume English—Russian dictionary contained 160,000 entries, compared with only 60,000 in a French—Russian dictionary of similar scope.)”
Oleg Gordievsky, Next Stop Execution: The Autobiography of Oleg Gordievsky

“തമിഴകത്തെ ചെന്തമിഴോ ആര്യാവർത്തത്തിലെ സംസ്കൃതമോ ഒരുകാലത്തും വാമൊഴിയായിട്ടില്ല. സംസ്കൃതനാടകങ്ങളിലെ ഉത്തമ കഥാപാത്രങ്ങളും പുരുഷന്മാരും സംസ്കൃതത്തിൽ സംസാരിക്കുമ്പോൾ മറ്റു കഥാപാത്രങ്ങളും സ്ത്രീകളും പ്രാകൃതത്തിലാണ് സംസാരിക്കുന്നത് എന്നത് അർഥഗർഭമാണ്. ഒട്ടേറെ പ്രാകൃതങ്ങൾ നിലവിലിരുന്ന ആര്യാവർത്തത്തിലാണ് ഇന്നത്തെ ഹിന്ദിയും മറ്റു ഭാഷകളും വരമൊഴിയായി രൂപപ്പെട്ടത്. അതായത് സംസ്കൃതം ഒരുകാലത്ത് സാധാരണ ജനങ്ങൾ സംസാരിച്ചിരുന്ന ഭാഷയാണെന്ന ധാരണ അബദ്ധമാണ്.”
EMS Namboodiripad, Nammude Bhasha : നമ്മുടെ ഭാഷ

Elizabeth Kolbert
“Since the start of the industrial revolution, humans have burned through enough fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—to add some 365 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere. Deforestation has contributed another 180 billion tons. Each year, we throw up another nine billion tons or so, an amount that’s been increasing by as much as six percent annually. As a result of all this, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air today—a little over four hundred parts per million—is higher than at any other point in the last eight hundred thousand years. Quite probably it is higher than at any point in the last several million years.”
Elizabeth Kolbert, The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History
