Alfred North Whitehead
“Thus nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent: the nightingale for his song: the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves, and should turn them into odes of self-congratulation on the excellency of the human mind. Nature is a dull affair, soundless, scentless, colourless...”
Alfred North Whitehead, Science and the Modern World

Nelson Mandela
“I immediately regretted that last point because I have discovered that in discussions it never helps to take a morally superior tone to one's opponent.”
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom

Eric J. Hobsbawm
“É precisamente essa a dificuldade de uma antropologia histórica-e-social que abandona a velha crença nos procedimentos e vocações de ambas as disciplinas, por inadequadas que possam ser sub specie aeternitatis, principalmente para o tipo de modelos intelectuais que assolaram os departamentos de literatura. Fica muito difícil conferir estrutura intelectual e expositória ou literária aos nossos escritos, afora o risco de que nosso tema seja desconstruído em fragmentos unidos apenas pela experiência comum de uma crise de identidade incomunicável.”
Eric Hobsbawm, On History

“O social está sempre atrasado em relação ao econômico, e o mental em relação ao social.”
Ernest Labrousse

Nelson Mandela
“Nonviolent passive resistance is effective as long as your opposition adheres to the same rules as you do. But if peaceful protest is met with violence, its efficacy is at an end. For me, nonviolence was not a moral principle but a strategy; there is no moral goodness in using an ineffective weapon.”
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
