David S. Landes
“Where there are kings, there must be the greatest cowards. For men’s souls are enslaved and refuse to run risks readily and recklessly to increase the power of somebody else. But independent people, taking risks on their own behalf and not on behalf of others, are willing and eager to go into danger, for they themselves enjoy the prize of victory.”
David S. Landes, The Wealth and Poverty of Nations: Why Some Are So Rich and Some So Poor

João Cabral de Melo Neto
“E se somos Severinos
iguais em tudo na vida,
morremos de morte igual,
mesma morte severina:
que é a morte que se morre
de velhice antes dos trinta,
de emboscada antes dos vinte,
de fome um pouco por dia.”
João Cabral de Melo Neto, Morte e Vida Severina e Outros Poemas Para Vozes

Henry David Thoreau
“The fault-finder will find fault even in paradise.”
Henry David Thoreau

Byung-Chul Han
“Today’s society is no longer Foucault’s disciplinary world of hospitals, madhouses, prisons, barracks, and factories. It has long been replaced by another regime, namely a society of fitness studios, office towers, banks, airports, shopping malls, and genetic laboratories. Twenty-first-century society is no longer a disciplinary society, but rather an achievement society [Leistungsgesellschaft]. Also, its inhabitants are no longer “obedience-subjects” but “achievement-subjects.” They are entrepreneurs of themselves.”
Byung-Chul Han, The Burnout Society

Valter Hugo Mãe
“Deve nutrir-se carinho por um sofrimento sobre o qual se soube construir a felicidade, repetiu muito seguro. Apenas isso. Nunca cultivar a dor, mas lembrá-la com respeito, por ter sido indutora de uma melhoria, por melhorar quem se é. Se assim for, não é necessário voltar atrás. A aprendizagem estará feita e o caminho livre para que a dor não se repita.”
valter hugo mãe, O Filho de Mil Homens
