“Those with intellectual perseverance see barriers, hardships, and obstacles in their intellectual lives as challenges to be overcome and opportunities for growth. Instead of giving up on their pursuit of truth when the going gets tough, they dig even deeper into the issues, read and investigate further, and grow in knowledge and understanding. Problems and puzzles are opportunities for discovery, not insurmountable barriers.

Persist in the path of discovery, because treasures... await.”
― Joseph Schmid

“In almost every job, we have only the ‘right’ to quit.”
― Howard Ehrlich

“We must not begin by talking of pure ideas, – vagabond thoughts that tramp the public roads without any human habitation, – but must begin with men and their conversation”
― Charles Sanders Peirce, Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, Vol. 7: Science and Philosophy / Vol. 8: Reviews, Correspondence and Bibliography

“(On Engels' critique of anti-authoritarianism)

“Nobody was talking about the use of revolutionary violence being authoritarianism. That's always been an invalid thing to point out. You know, is a slave rising up and overthrowing their master, is that "authoritarian"? Is a woman trying to escape her abusive husband or defending herself against her abusive husband, is that "authoritarian"?”
