Robert A. Heinlein
“Distrust the obvious, suspect the traditional . . . for in the past mankind has not done well when saddling itself with governments”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

“The press loves a heretic, especially one who can set fire to things and then walk away to look for the next pile of kindling. It is more problematic when the arsonist is in the heart of government, but is ill informed and, worse, spellbound by a science that is barely understood by experts, let alone tourists.”
Adam Rutherford, Control: The Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics

Bruce Holbert
“Hamlet misspoke, Strawl decided. It is consciousness that makes cowards of us all, not conscience. Right and wrong are venomless when compared to the simple awareness of being alive. The knowledge that existence can equal something past the sum of our circulation and digestion, that those corporeal purposes serve a galaxy of space between a man's ears, whose suns and planets obey his own peculiar science, but one in which he alone recognizes the order, and only in glimpses, epiphanies that melt before he can speak or even think them--and the knowledge even this distant self is not his possession but belongs to others weighing and judging the dim and distant light he emits.”
Bruce Holbert

Albert Maysles
“Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance”
Albert Maysles

Carlo Rovelli
“It is entropy, not energy, that keeps stones on the ground and the world turning.”
Carlo Rovelli, The Order of Time
