““On their way out, and much to my surprise, they all shook my hand – as if that night during which we hadn’t exchanged as much as a single word had somehow brought us closer together. ””
Stranger • Albert Camus“ Literacy made the Spaniards heirs to a huge body of knowledge about human behavior and history. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“"The environment has to be balanced against the economy." This quote portrays environmental concerns as a luxury, views measures to solve environmental problems as incurring a net cost, and considers leaving environmental problems unsolved to be a money-saving device. This one-liner puts the truth exactly backwards. Environmental messes cost us huge sums of money both in the short run and in the long run; cleaning up or preventing those messes saves us huge sums in the long run, and often in the short run as well. In caring for the health of our surroundings, just as of our bodies, it is cheaper and preferable to avoid getting sick than to try to cure illnesses after they have developed.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“For nothing matters except life; and, of course, order.”
The Common Reader • Virginia Woolf“The Seven Commandments: Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. No animal shall wear clothes. No animal shall sleep in a bed. No animal shall drink alcohol. No animal shall kill any other animal. All animals are equal.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell
