"Of all the attempts over the centuries to place humans in distinct races, none succeeds. Genetics refuses to comply with these artificial and superficial categories. Skin colour, while being the most obvious difference between people, is a very bad proxy for the total amount of similarity or difference between individuals and between populations."

"I don't buy the whole "self-taught genius engineer who prefers to be a poor petty thief instead of actually working as a well-paid engineer" character. There better be a good explanation for this behavior." Jun 02, 2020 06:22AM

Lydia Davis
“Read the best writers from all different periods; keep your reading of contemporaries in proportion - you do not want a steady diet of contemporary literature. You already belong to your time.”
Lydia Davis, Essays One

Suanne Laqueur
“She smiled back at him. Neither of them had said so much as hello yet she was looking at him with those eyes. Deep in the cathedral of his young being, Erik felt a bell toll, a peal of recognition. And for the rest of his life, he would swear, he would swear to anyone who asked, although nothing was said aloud, he heard Daisy Bianco speak to him. She said it with her eyes, he heard it clearly in his head, and it wasn’t hello.
It was, 'Well, here you are...'
Here I am, he thought.”
Suanne Laqueur, The Man I Love

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“One of the great challenges in life is knowing enough to think you're right but not enough to know you're wrong”

Melina Marchetta
“A tradition that we’ll never let go. A tradition that I probably will never let go of either, simply because like religion, culture is nailed into you so deep you can’t escape it. No matter how far you run.”
Melina Marchetta, Looking for Alibrandi

Jan Philipp Reemtsma
“Wenn eine Gesellschaft vor ihrer literarischen Kultur keine Achtung mehr hat, wenn die Achtung nicht so beschaffen ist, daß sie es als achtenswert empfindet, über diese Kultur einigermaßen Bescheid zu wissen, wenn sie also das unaufhebbare Nichtbescheidwissen der Mehrheit - ihre Unbildung - nicht mehr als bedauerlichen Mangel empfindet, der nur durch die Bildung einer kulturellen Elite kompensiert werden kann, dann ist nichts mehr zu machen.”
