“You don’t get what you don’t fight for.”

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

― Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again
“I don't think it's a coincidence that this crisis in paying attention has taken place at the same time as the worst crisis of democracy since the 1930s. People who can't focus will be more drawn to simplistic authoritarian solutions--and less likely to see clearly when they fail. A world full of attention-deprived citizens alternating between Twitter and Snapchat will be a world of cascading crises where we can't get a handle on any of them.”

― A Little Hatred
