Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
Rumi

Douglas R. Hofstadter
“Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law”
Douglas Hofstadter

Naomi Klein
“Our economic system and our planetary system are now at war. Or, more accurately, our economy is at war with many forms of life on earth, including human life. What the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction in humanity’s use of resources; what our economic model demands to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it’s not the laws of nature.”
Naomi Klein, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate

Socrates
“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”
Socrates

Plato
“Excess of liberty, whether it lies in state or individuals, seems only to pass into excess of slavery.”
Plato, The Republic
