“Why, within Eurasia, were European societies, rather than those of the Fertile Crescent or China or India, the ones that colonized America and Australia, took the lead in technology, and became politically and economically dominant in the modern world?”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“The basis of optimism is sheer terror.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“To tell the truth, I often felt uneasy when I thought of the excessive brittleness and fragility of the moon. The moon is generally repaired in Hamburg, and very imperfectly. It is done by a lame cooper, an obvious blockhead who has no idea how to do it. He took waxed thread and olive-oil—hence that pungent smell over all the earth which compels people to hold their noses. And this makes the moon so fragile that no men can live on it, but only noses. Therefore we cannot see our noses, because they are on the moon.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol““When a man is rich, whether in gold or in knowledge, he must treat the poverty of others with consideration.””
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf““For the highest reach of injustice is, to be deemed just when you are not.””
Republic • Plato
