Frans de Waal
“Are we open-minded enough to assume that other species have a mental life? Are we creative enough to investigate it? Can we tease apart the roles of attention, motivation, and cognition? Those three are involved in everything animals do; hence poor performance can be explained by any one of them.”
Frans de Waal, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

Frans de Waal
“At the time, science had declared humans unique, since we were so much better at identifying faces than any other primate. No one seemed bothered by the fact that other primates had been tested mostly on human faces rather than those of their own kind.”
Frans de Waal, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

Anna C. Salter
“over and over victims are blamed for their assaults. and when we imply that victims bring on their own fates - whether to make ourselves feel more efficacious or to make the world seem just - we prevent ourselves from taking the necessary precautions to protect ourselves. Why take precautions? We deny the trauma could easily have happened to us. And we also hurt the people already traumatized. Victims are often already full of self-doubt, and we make recovery harder by laying inspectors blame on them.”
Anna Salter, Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists, and Other Sex Offenders

Ron Chernow
“Hamilton’s besetting fear was that American democracy would be spoiled by demagogues who would mouth populist shibboleths to conceal their despotism.”
Ron Chernow, Alexander Hamilton

Timothy Snyder
“The history of the Holocaust is not over. Its precedent is eternal, and its lessons have not yet been learned.”
Timothy Snyder, Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning
