answered a question about
The Socrates Express:
Cliff Notes won't excite you. Cliff Notes won't make you laugh so hard the pasta you're eating comes out your nose. Cliff Notes don't capture the true essence of philosophy, or anything else. Cliff Notes don't take you on a journey. But they're cheap

quote
“A description of Zaira as it is today should contain all Zaira’s past. The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls.”

of
The Geography of Genius: A Search for the World's Most Creative Places from Ancient Athens to Silicon Valley:
""Genius" is a finicky term--part nature, part nurture--more creativity than IQ. Throughout history, certain places birthed more than their share of Genius. Did exceptional cities give rise to genius, or did clusters of genius give rise to exceptional"

of
The Geography of Genius: A Search for the World's Most Creative Places from Ancient Athens to Silicon Valley:
"Překvapuje mě, že si mnoho lidí stále myslí, jak je kreativita genetická záležitost. Tato kniha vás přesvědčí o tom, že je to spíše tím, v jaké společnosti se pohybujete (místa, kde se debatuje; investuje do umění; kombinují nápady a nebojí se selhán"

“Money matters but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important. So are friends. Envy is toxic. So is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude.”

― The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World
“So the greatest source of happiness is other people--and what does money do? It isolates us from other people. It enables us to build walls, literal and figurative, around ourselves. We move from a teeming college dorm to an apartment to a house, and if we're really wealthy, to an estate. We think we're moving up, but really we're walling off ourselves.”

“[Happiness is] a ghost, it’s a shadow. You can’t really chase it. It’s a by-product, a very pleasant side effect to a life lived well.”
