“These findings strengthen the argument that the brain exerts some kind of control over specific body parts according to how strongly we own them.”
Heather Fraser, The Peanut Allergy Epidemic: What's Causing It and How to Stop It

Paula Hawkins
“LIFE IS NOT A PARAGRAPH. I think about the bundle of clothes on the side of the track and I feel as though my throat is closing up. Life is not a paragraph, and death is no parenthesis. EVENING”
Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train

Steven D. Levitt
“And what about the other half of the election truism—that the amount of money spent on campaign finance is obscenely huge? In a typical election period that includes campaigns for the presidency, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, about $ 1 billion is spent per year—which sounds like a lot of money, unless you care to measure it against something seemingly less important than democratic elections.

Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

Marshall Chiles

Marshall Chiles, Your Presentation is a Joke: Using Humor to Maximize Your Impact
