Scott Adams
“We humans don’t like uncertainty, so we are attracted to those who offer clarity and simple answers, even if the answers are wrong or incomplete. Master Persuaders can thrive in chaotic environments by offering the clarity people crave. And if an environment is not chaotic already, a skilled persuader who understands both social media and the news business can easily stir the pot to create an advantage through chaos. Candidate Trump was a champion of this method.”
Scott Adams, Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter

Saul Bellow
“My soul is like a pawn shop. I mean it's filled with unredeemed pleasures, old clarinets, and cameras, and motheaten fur.”
Saul Bellow, Henderson the Rain King

Octavio Paz
“Reality
is always at the edge of the abyss,
hung from the thread of a thought.”
Octavio Paz, A Draft of Shadows and Other Poems

Robert Macfarlane
“The compact between writing and walking is almost as old as literature -- a walk is only a step away from a story, and every path tells.”
Robert Macfarlane, The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot

Robert Macfarlane
“Paths are the habits of a landscape. They are acts of consensual making. It's hard to create a footpath on your own...Paths connect. This is their first duty and their chief reason for being. They relate places in a literal sense, and by extension they relate people.

Paths are consensual, too, because without common care and common practice they disappear: overgrown by vegetation, ploughed up or built over (through they may persist in the memorious substance of land law). Like sea channels that require regular dredging to stay open, paths NEED walking.”
Robert MacFarlane, The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot
