Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Joseph Conrad
“It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose.”
Joseph Conrad, An Outcast of the Islands

Frantz Fanon
“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are
presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new
evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is
extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it
is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize,
ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.”
Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

Rahm Emanuel
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
Rahm Emanuel

Daniel J. Boorstin
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
Daniel J. Boorstin
