Philip G. Zimbardo
“Many males who we have surveyed said they felt most like a man when they were honest about who they were, confidently made decisions and actively pursued their dreams.”
Philip G. Zimbardo, Man Disconnected: How technology has sabotaged what it means to be male

Jamaica Kincaid
“this is how you smile to someone you don’t like too much; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like at all; this is how you smile to someone you like completely;”
Jamaica Kincaid, Girl

Philip G. Zimbardo
“But that meaningful respect needs to come from doing pro-social things that make life better in some way for others. It should not derive from out-drinking their buddies or doing some stupid shit better than them.”
Philip G. Zimbardo, Man Disconnected: How technology has sabotaged what it means to be male

Rebecca Solnit
“Joy doesn’t betray but sustains activism. And when you face a politics that aspires to make you fearful, alienated, and isolated, joy is a fine initial act of insurrection.”
Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities

Michael   Lewis
“The new players in the financial markets, the kingpins of the future who had the capacity to reshape those markets, were a different breed: the Chinese guy who had spent the previous ten years in American universities; the French particle physicist from Fermilab; the Russian aerospace engineer; the Indian PhD in electrical engineering. “There were just thousands of these people,” said Schwall. “Basically all of them with advanced degrees. I remember thinking to myself how unfortunate it was that so many engineers were joining these firms to exploit investors rather than solving public problems.”
Michael Lewis, Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt
