Matt Haig
“To be part of nature was to be part of the will to live.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Bill  Gates
“There’s one last way we can cut down on emissions from the food we eat: by wasting less of it. In Europe, industrialized parts of Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa, more than 20 percent of food is simply thrown away, allowed to rot, or otherwise wasted. In the United States, it’s 40 percent. That’s bad for people who don’t have enough to eat, bad for the economy, and bad for the climate. When wasted food rots, it produces enough methane to cause as much warming as 3.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide each year.”
Bill Gates, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need

Jenny Offill
“Q: Why do humans like applause? A: I suspect it is because we are at a disadvantage compared with much of the animal kingdom. We lack sharp teeth or claws. We are not the biggest or the fastest. And we evolved in an environment where we lived nomadically and were exposed daily to the terrifying forces of nature. Accordingly, we banded together in tight-knit groups to better protect ourselves. We built fires and told stories to make the dark nights pass by. Applause may be a way for us to make our weak hands sound thunderous.”
Jenny Offill, Weather

“It’s great to be the fastest runner, but not when you’re running in the wrong direction.”
Richard Osman, The Thursday Murder Club

Erich Kästner
“Die Stadt war so groß. Und Emil war so klein. Und kein Mensch wollte wissen, warum er kein Geld hatte, und warum er nicht wusste, wo er austeigen sollte. Vier Millionen Menschen lebten in Berlin und keiner interessierte sich für Emil Tischbein. Niemand will von den Sorgen des andern etwas wissen. Jeder hat mit seinen eigenen Sorgen und Freuden genug zu tun. Und wenn man sagt: >>Das tut mir aber wirklich leid<<, so meint man meistens gar nichts weiter als: >>Mensch, lass mich bloß in Ruhe!<<”
Erich Kästner, Emil und die Detektive
