“There are men that will make you books, and turn them loose into the world, with as much dispatch as they would do a dish of fritters.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Though seemingly remote from human sexuality, shorebird sexuality is instructive because it illustrates the main message of this book: a species’ sexuality is molded by other aspects of the species’ biology. It’s easier for us to acknowledge this conclusion about shorebirds, to which we don’t apply moral standards, than about ourselves.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.””
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“It is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens
