James Randi
“There is a distinct difference between having an open mind and having a hole in your head from which your brain leaks out.”
James Randi

“All of us—employers, parents, schools, government agencies, and interns themselves—are complicit in the devaluing of work, the exacerbation of social inequality, and the disillusionment of young people in the workplace that are emerging as a result of the intern boom. Informal, barely studied, and little regulated, internships demand our scrutiny. We need a view of the entire sprawling system and its history, a glimpse of its curious blend of privilege and exploitation; we need to hear from interns themselves, and also from those who proffer internships, the people who sell them, the few who work to improve them, an the many who are unable to access them at all. only then can we consider ethical, legal alternatives to a system that is broken, a practice that is often poisonous.”
Ross Perlin

Jim Baggott
“Just remember that money cannot buy you happiness (although it might make misery more tolerable).”
Jim Baggott, Beginner's Guide to Reality

Matthew Gregory Lewis
“An author, whether good or bad, or between both, is an animal whom every body is privileged to attack: for though all are not able to write books, all conceive themselves able to judge them.”
Matthew Gregory Lewis, The Monk

Allie Brosh
“The absurdity of working so hard to continue doing something you don’t like can be overwhelming.”
Allie Brosh, Hyperbole and a Half
