Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain“Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too.

Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Not that this confusion signifies to them who never care to think about the matter at all, for they have the wit to be well pleased with themselves, however great the turmoil of their ideas. But you, if you are a philosopher, will, I believe, do as I say.”
