Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“Because Demian would have demanded more of me than my parents demanded, much more; by means of inducements and admonitions, sarcasm and irony, he would have tried to make me more self-reliant.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“The first opinion that occurs to us when we are suddenly asked about a matter is usually not our own, but only the customary one, appropriate to our caste, position, or parentage; our own opinions seldom swim near the surface.”
