Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively; strive to get clear notions about all; give up no science entirely, for science is but one.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“I would venture to guess than Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”
