Carl Sagan
“If I finish a book a week, I will read only a few thousand books in my lifetime, about a tenth of a percent of the contents of the greatest libraries of our time. The trick is to know which books to read.”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Alexander Pushkin
“I want to understand you,
I study your obscure language.”
Alexander Pushkin

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
Rumi

Steven Pinker
“Many experiments have shown that readers understand and remember material far better when it is expressed in concrete language that allows them to form visual images,”
Steven Pinker, The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century

David Foster Wallace
“This, according to the fellows who saw me as fit for a Service career, put me ahead of the curve, to understand this truth at an age when most guys are starting only to suspect the basics of adulthood--that life owes you nothing; that suffering takes many forms; that no one will ever care for you as your mother did; that the human heart is a chump.”
David Foster Wallace, The Pale King
