Gege Akutami
“Where moderate effort will suffice, use moderate effort.”
Gege Akutami, Jujutsu Kaisen Vol 1-5 Books Collection Set

Robert  Wright
“Our entire notion of good and bad, our whole landscape of feelings—fear, lust, love, and the many other feelings, salient and subtle, that inform our everyday thoughts and perceptions—are products of the particular evolutionary history of our species.”
Robert Wright, Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment

Mark Oshiro
“We stretch ourselves: to fit within the roles we are given. To make ourselves look better to those around us. To convince one another that we are good people in a world so vacant. Each of us a desert.”
Mark Oshiro, Each of Us a Desert

Robert  Wright
“What causes all the hatred? At some level, it’s always the same thing: human beings operating under the influence of human brains whose design presupposed their specialness. That is, human beings operating under the influence of the reality-distortion fields that control us in many and subtle ways, convincing us that we and ours are in the right, that we are by nature good, and that, when we do the occasional bad thing, it’s not a reflection of the “real us”; whereas they and theirs aren’t in the right and aren’t by nature good, and when they do the occasional good thing, it’s not a reflection of the “real them.” And it doesn’t help matters that these reality-distortion fields often magnify, even out-and-out fabricate, the threat posed by them and theirs.”
Robert Wright, Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment

“The first thing that happens at the end of the world is that we don’t know what is happening.”
Louise Erdrich, Future Home of the Living God
