“On the fates of past societies facing problems of sustainability.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“The conception of what is normal varies not only with the culture but also within the same culture, in the course of time.”
The Neurotic Personality Of Our Time • Karen Horney“No profit whatever can possibly be made but at the expense of another. . . . The Merchant only thrives, and grows rich, by the pride, wantonness and debauchery of youth; the husbandman by the price and scarcity of grain; the architect by the ruin of buildings; lawyers, and officers of Justice, by the suits and contentions of men; nay even the honor and office of Divines are derived from our death and vices. A physician takes no pleasure in the health even of his friends . . . nor a soldier in the peace of his country and so of the rest.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is, knows how deep a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our race. He brought death into the world.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain“No one is useless in this world ... who lightens the burden of it for any one else.”
Our Mutual Friend • Charles Dickens
