Steven Pinker
“People see violence as moral, not immoral: across the world and throughout history, more people have been murdered to mete out justice than to satisfy greed.”
Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress

Haruki Murakami
“You can hide memories, but you can’t erase the history that produced them.” Sara looked directly into his eyes. “If nothing else, you need to remember that. You can’t erase history, or change it. It would be like destroying yourself.”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

Andy Miller
“We are creatures made as much by art as by experience and what we read in books is the sum of both.”
Andy Miller, The Year of Reading Dangerously: How Fifty Great Books (and Two Not-So-Great Ones) Saved My Life

Edmund Fawcett
“Polemical energy is wasted on showing that liberalism’s aims and ideals are narrowly Western, secular-Enlightened, bourgeois-individualist, procapitalist or—to use a fashionable term of abuse—rootlessly cosmopolitan.

Edmund Fawcett, Liberalism: The Life of an Idea

Stefan Zweig
“Maybe everything’s not so hard, maybe life is so much easier than I thought, you just need courage, you just need to have a sense of yourself, then you’ll discover your hidden resources.”
Stefan Zweig, The Post-Office Girl
