“Telling effective stories is not easy. The difficulty lies not in telling the story, but in convincing everyone else to believe it. Much of history revolves around this question: how does one convince millions of people to believe particular stories about gods, or nations, or limited liability companies? Yet when it succeeds, it gives Sapiens immense power, because it enables millions of strangers to cooperate and work towards common goals.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

"Fuck you," said the raven.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
