Book cover for Ilusões Perdidas (Portuguese Edition)
Longe do centro em que os grandes espíritos brilham, em que o ambiente anda carregado de pensamentos, em que tudo se renova, a instrução faz-se velha, o gosto degenera como uma água estagnada. Sem exercício, as paixões reduzem-se, ...more

Walter Isaacson
“First and foremost is that creativity is a collaborative process. Innovation comes from teams more often than from the lightbulb moments of lone geniuses. This was true of every era of creative ferment. The Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial Revolution all had their institutions for collaborative work and their networks for sharing ideas.”
Walter Isaacson, The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution

“Music and books, food for the soul!”
José Luis Braga

Jonathan Haidt
“Moral systems are interlocking sets of values, virtues, norms, practices, identities, institutions, technologies, and evolved psychological mechanisms that work together to suppress or regulate self-interest and make cooperative societies possible.”
Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion

Douglas Adams
“The Babel fish,’ said The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy quietly, ‘is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Daniel Klein
“Companionship was at the top of Epicurus's list of life's pleasures. He wrote, 'Of all the things that wisdom provides to help one live one's entire life in happiness, the greatest by far is the possession of friendship.”
Daniel Klein, Travels with Epicurus: A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of a Fulfilled Life
