“When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Something indefinite is always worse than something definite, a strong fear that doesn't last very long is easier than one that's nebulous but doesn't go away.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“In fact, one of the main lesson to be learned from the collapses of the Maya, Anasazi, Easter Islanders, and those other past societies (as well as from the recent collapse of the Soviet Union) is that a society's steep decline may begin only a decade or two after the society reaches its peak numbers, wealth, and power. [...] The reason is simple: maximum population, wealth, resource consumption, and waste production mean maximum environmental impact, approaching the limit where impact outstrips resources. On reflection, it's no surprise that declines of societies tend to follow swiftly on their peaks.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.”
The Portrait of Mr. W.H. • Oscar Wilde“The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer
