“Silence is learned by the many misfortunes of life.”
Thyestes • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“With the rise of chiefdoms around 7,500 years ago, people had to learn, for the first time in history, how to encounter strangers regularly without attempting to kill them.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“The distinguishing mark of man is the hand, the instrument with which he does all his mischief.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“My views may seem to ignore a moral imperative that businesses should follow virtuous principles, whether or not it is most profitable for them to do so. Instead I prefer to recognize that, throughout human history, [...] government regulation has arisen precisely because it was found to be necessary for the enforcement of moral principles. Invocation of moral principles is a necessary first step for eliciting virtuous behavior, but that alone is not a sufficient step.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond““If ever my life can be of any use to you, come and claim it.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
