Leo Tolstoy
“I think... if it is true that
there are as many minds as there
are heads, then there are as many
kinds of love as there are hearts.”
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Robert M. Sapolsky
“Depression is often framed as a sufferer having a cognitively distorted sense of “learned helplessness,” where the reality of some loss in the past becomes mistakenly perceived as an inevitable future. In this study, though, it was not that depressed individuals were cognitively distorted, underestimating their actual control. Instead they were accurate compared with everyone else’s overestimates. Findings like these support the view that in some circumstances, depressed individuals are not distortive but are “sadder but wiser.” As such, depression is the pathological loss of the capacity to rationalize away reality. And thus, perhaps, “we’re better off believing in it anyway.” Truth doesn’t always set you free; truth, mental health, and well-being have a complex relationship, something explored in an extensive literature on the psychology of stress.”
Robert M. Sapolsky, Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will

Imogen Binnie
“Eventually you can't help but figure out that, while gender is a construct, so is a traffic light, and if you ignore either of them, you get hit by cars. Which, also, are constructs.”
Imogen Binnie, Nevada

علي بن أبي طالب
“There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance.”
Ali Bin Abi Thalib

Julia Armfield
“In my head, I think I’m often telling Miri stories, logging away information or things I’ve seen in order to tell her about them later.”
Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under the Sea
