“Books may be likened to the people who come into our lives. Some will become precious to us; others will be set aside. The key is to discern which is which.”
― Barbara Davis, The Echo of Old Books

“You might be an intelligent person, but once you let someone else filter the world for you, you have no way to critically analyze what you’re hearing. At best, absolute best case scenario, if they blatantly contradict themselves, you can spot that. But if they take basic care to maintain an internal logical consistency, which they all do, you’ve got nothing. You’ve delegated the ability to make up your mind.”
― Max Barry, Lexicon
