Donna Tartt
“Worry! What a waste of time. All the holy books were right. Clearly ‘worry’ was the mark of a primitive and spiritually unevolved person. What was that line from Yeats, about the bemused Chinese sages? All things fall and are built again. Ancient glittering eyes. This was wisdom. People had been raging and weeping and destroying things for centuries and wailing about their puny individual lives, when—what was the point? All this useless sorrow? Consider the lilies of the field. Why did anyone ever worry about anything? Weren’t we, as sentient beings, put upon the earth to be happy, in the brief time allotted to us?”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

Marcus du Sautoy
“The Goldberg Variations is a good example of how symmetry is not just a physical property but pervades many abstract structures.”
Marcus du Sautoy, Symmetry: A Journey into the Patterns of Nature

Thomas Sowell
“People who have acquired academic degrees, without acquiring many economically meaningful skills, not only face personal disappointment and disaffection with society, but also have often become negative factors in the economy and even sources of danger, especially when they lash out at economically successful minorities and ethnically polarize the whole society they live in. . . . . In many places and times, soft-subject students and intellectuals have inflamed hostility, and sometimes violence, against many other successful groups.”
Thomas Sowell, Wealth, Poverty and Politics: An International Perspective

Albert Camus
“En el medio del odio me pareció que había dentro de mí un amor invencible.
El medio de las lágrimas me pareció que había dentro de mí una sonrisa invencible.
En medio del caos me pareció que había dentro de mí una calma invencible.
Me di cuenta, a pesar de todo, que en medio del invierno había dentro de mí un verano invencible. Y eso me hace feliz.
Porque no importa lo duro que el mundo empuje en mi contra, dentro de mí hay algo mejor empujando de vuelta.”
Albert Camus

Marcus du Sautoy
“I also fell in love with Borges. He is a mathematician’s writer. His short stories are like mathematical proofs, delicately constructed and with ideas laced together effortlessly. Each step is taken with precision and watertight logic, yet the narrative is full of surprising twists and turns.”
Marcus du Sautoy, Symmetry: A Journey into the Patterns of Nature
