“ “Obesity is a double victory for consumerism. Instead of eating little, which will lead to economic contraction, people eat too much and then buy diet products - contributing to economic growth twice over.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“When men are about to commit, or sanction the commission of some injustice, it is not uncommon for them to express pity for the object either of that or some parallel proceeding, and to feel themselves, at the time, quite virtuous and moral, and immensely superior to those who express no pity at all. This is a kind of upholding of faith above works, and is very comfortable.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“Art never expresses anything but itself.”
The Decay of Lying • Oscar Wilde“In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“My views may seem to ignore a moral imperative that businesses should follow virtuous principles, whether or not it is most profitable for them to do so. Instead I prefer to recognize that, throughout human history, [...] government regulation has arisen precisely because it was found to be necessary for the enforcement of moral principles. Invocation of moral principles is a necessary first step for eliciting virtuous behavior, but that alone is not a sufficient step.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond
