Slavoj Žižek
“There is a wonderful expression in Persian, war nam nihadan, which means "to murder somebody, bury his body, then grow flowers over the body to conceal it”
Slavoj Žižek, The Year of Dreaming Dangerously

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“We talk far too much. We should talk less and draw more. I personally
should like to renounce speech altogether and, like organic Nature,
communicate everything I have to say in sketches.”
Goethe Johann-Wolfgang

Sam Harris
“You are not controlling the storm, and you are not lost in it. You are the storm.”
Sam Harris, Free Will

Aristotle
“What makes a man a 'sophist' is not his faculty, but his moral purpose. (1355b 17)”
Aristotle, The Art of Rhetoric

Kim Stanley Robinson
“But no. That was analogy rather than homology. What in the humanities they would call a heroic simile, if he understood the term, or a metaphor, or some other kind of literary analogy. And analogies were mostly meaningless — a matter of phenotype rather than genotype (to use another analogy). Most, of poetry and literature, really all the humanities, not to mention the social sciences, were phenotypic as far as Sax could tell. They added up to a huge compendium of meaningless analogies, which did not help to explain things, but only distorted perception of them. A kind of continuous conceptual drunkenness, one might say. Sax himself much preferred exactitude and explanatory power, and why not? If it was 200 Kelvin outside why not say so, rather than talk about witches’ tits and the like, hauling the whole great baggage of the ignorant past along to obscure every encounter with sensory reality? It was absurd.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars
