“Great thinkers don’t harbor doubts because they’re impostors. They maintain doubts because they know we’re all partially blind and they’re committed to improving their sight. They don’t boast about how much they know; they marvel at how little they understand. They’re aware that each answer raises new questions, and the quest for knowledge is never finished. A mark of lifelong learners is recognizing that they can learn something from everyone they meet.”
― Adam M. Grant, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know

― Jack London, White Fang

“The belief in a supernatural source
of evil is not necessary; men alone
