Alexander von Humboldt
“The most dangerous worldviews are the worldviews of those who have never viewed the world.”
Alexander von Humboldt

Yasunari Kawabata
“Time flows in the same way for all human beings; every human being flows through time in a different way.”
Yasunari Kawabata

John Dickson Carr
“It’s all very well to have your eight suspects parading in their endless ring-around-the-rosebush outside the library. That’s fine. But give some sensible reason why they were there. If you must shower the room with bus tickets, provide a reason for that too. In other words, construct your story. Your present problem is not to explain the villainy of the guilty: it’s to explain the stupidity of the innocent.”
John Dickson Carr, The Door To Doom And Other Detections

Cathy O'Neil
“Big Data processes codify the past. They do not invent the future. Doing that requires moral imagination, and that’s something only humans can provide. We have to explicitly embed better values into our algorithms, creating Big Data models that follow our ethical lead. Sometimes that will mean putting fairness ahead of profit.”
Cathy O'Neil, Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy

Nathan  Hill
“Sometimes we’re so wrapped up in our own story that we don’t see how we’re supporting characters in someone else’s. So”
Nathan Hill, The Nix
