George Orwell
“In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.”
George Orwell, Essays

Jawaharlal Nehru
“A country under foreign domination seeks escape from the present in dreams of a vanished age, and finds consolation in visions of past greatness. That is a foolish and dangerous pastime in which many of us indulge. An equally questionable practice for us in India is to imagine that we are still spiritually great though we have come down in the world in other respects. Spiritual or any other greatness cannot be founded on lack of freedom and opportunity, or on starvation and misery.”
Jawaharlal Nehru, The Discovery of India

George Orwell
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
George Orwell, 1984

Andrew John Wiles
“I carried this problem around in my head basically the whole time. I would wake up with it first thing in the morning, I would be thinking about it all day, and I would be thinking about it when I went to sleep. Without distraction I would have the same thing going round and round in my mind.

(Recalling the degree of focus and determination that eventually yielded the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.)”
Andrew John Wiles

Yuval Noah Harari
“One of history’s few iron laws is that luxuries tend to become necessities and to spawn new obligations.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
