Albert Einstein
“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.”
Albert Einstein

Maajid Nawaz
“As he continued to talk to me, I realized one of the fundamental points about Islamism that so many people fail to understand. The way Osman was speaking wasn’t in the orthodox, religious way of the imam with a stick; he was talking about politics, about events that were happening now.

Maajid Nawaz, Radical: My Journey out of Islamist Extremism

Derek Parfit
“What now matters most is that we avoid ending human history. If there are no rational beings elsewhere, it may depend on us and our successors whether it will all be worth it, because the existence of the Universe will have been on the whole good.”
Derek Parfit, On What Matters, Vol. 2

David  Brooks
“Humility is the awareness that there’s a lot you don’t know and that a lot of what you think you know is distorted or wrong.”
David Brooks, The Road to Character

Dōgen
“Prefer to be defeated in the presence of the wise than to excel among fools.”
Dogen Zenji
