“Nearly half of all New Guinea languages have fewer than 500 speakers.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Every living creature is happy when he fulfills his destiny, that is, when he realizes himself, when he is being that which in truth he is. For this reason, Schlegel, inverting the relationship between pleasure and destiny, said, “We have a genius for what we like.” Genius, man’s superlative gift for doing something, always carries a look of supreme pleasure.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset““I see that you are indifferent about money, which is a characteristic rather of those who have inherited their fortunes than of those who have acquired them; the makers of fortunes have a second love of money as a creation of their own, resembling the affection of authors for their own poems, or of parents for their children, besides that natural love of it for the sake of use and profit which is common to them and all men. And hence they are very bad company, for they can talk about nothing but the praises of wealth.””
Republic • Plato“Much better an intelligent hell than a stupid paradise.”
Ninety-Three • VICTOR HUGO“We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.”
Candida • George Bernard Shaw
