“Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother’s cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“The stupider one is, the closer one is to reality. The stupider one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence wriggles and hides itself. Intelligence is a knave, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Why count the days, when even one days is enough for a man to know all happiness?”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“It invites a search for ultimate causes: why were Europeans, rather than Africans or Native Americans, the ones to end up with guns, the nastiest germs, and steel?”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“"Now Gregor's sister also had to help his mother with the cooking; although that was not so much bother as no-one ate very much."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka
