Matt Haig
“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.”
Matt Haig, How to Stop Time

Steven Pinker
“As we care about more of humanity, we’re apt to mistake the harms around us for signs of how low the world has sunk rather than how high our standards have risen.”
Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress

Robert Macfarlane
“We all carry trace fossils within us – the marks that the dead and the missed leave behind. Handwriting on an envelope; the wear on a wooden step left by footfall; the memory of a familiar gesture by someone gone, repeated so often it has worn its own groove in both air and mind: these are trace fossils too. Sometimes, in fact, all that is left behind by loss is trace – and sometimes empty volume can be easier to hold in the heart than presence itself.”
Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey

“You know why the experts don’t have an easy answer? Because a fucking expert’s the guy who knows how complicated the fucking questions are.”
Claire North, The Sudden Appearance of Hope

Maryanne Wolf
“The end of reading development doesn’t exist; the unending story of reading moves ever forward, leaving the eye, the tongue, the word, the author for a new place from which the “truth breaks forth, fresh and green,” changing the brain and the reader every time.”
Maryanne Wolf, Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain
