Karel Čapek
“Just imagine the silence in the world, if people talked only what they knew”
Karel Čapek

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless ;
'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved.
I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one;
One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call. ”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Clay Shirky
“Wikipedia took the idea of peer review and applied it to volunteers on a global scale, becoming the most important English reference work in less than 10 years. Yet the cumulative time devoted to creating Wikipedia, something like 100 million hours of human thought, is expended by Americans every weekend, just watching ads.”
Clay Shirky

Ray Bradbury
“The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.”
Ray Bradbury, The October Country

Oscar Wilde
“You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”
oscar wilde
