Barbara Oakley
“There is much creativity underlying math and science problem solving. Many people think that there’s only one way to do a problem, but there are often a number of different solutions, if you have the creativity to see them. For example, there are more than three hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean theorem.”
Barbara Oakley, A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science

Robert M. Sapolsky
“All but the most heroically strong among us would slip another step lower in the face of this loss. It is true that hope, no matter how irrational, can sustain us in the darkest of times. But nothing can break us more effectively than hope given and then taken away capriciously. Manipulating these psychological variables is a powerful but double-edged sword.”
Robert M. Sapolsky, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers

Sean Carroll
“Intellectual fascination crosses many boundaries.”
Sean Carroll, The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself

Sean Carroll
“All lives are different, and some face hardships that others will never know. But we all share the same universe, the same laws of nature, and the same fundamental task of creating meaning and of mattering for ourselves and those around us in the brief amount of time we have in the world.
Three billion heartbeats. The clock is ticking.”
Sean Carroll, The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself

Robert M. Hazen
“Four and a half billion is a number almost beyond reckoning. The current Guinness world record for longevity is held by a French woman who lived to celebrate her 122nd birthday—so humans fall far short of living even for 4.5 billion seconds (about 144 years). All of recorded human history is much less than 4.5 billion minutes. And yet geologists claim that Earth has been around for more than 4.5 billion years.”
Robert M. Hazen, The Story of Earth: The First 4.5 Billion Years, from Stardust to Living Planet
