Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

David  Ireland
“Get fit. Live the active life. Make the army your chorea”
David Ireland

Stephen Kotkin
“What we designate modernity was not something natural or automatic. It involved a set of difficult-to-attain attributes—mass production, mass culture, mass politics—that the greatest powers mastered. Those states, in turn, forced other countries to attain modernity as well, or suffer the consequences, including defeat in war and possible colonial conquest.”
Stephen Kotkin, Stalin: Volume I: Paradoxes of Power, 1878-1928

David Bowie
“I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.”
David Bowie

“Civilization is the name we give to the interaction of human beings in a very creative way, when, as it were, a critical mass of cultural potential and a certain surplus of resources have been built up.”
J M Roberts, The Penguin History of the World
