Eric Hoffer
“To wrong those we hate is to add fuel to our hatred. Conversely, to treat an enemy with magnanimity is to blunt our hatred for him. 71”
Eric Hoffer, The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements

Michel de Montaigne
“Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry.”
Michel de Montaigne, Apology for Raymond Sebond

“It is wise to take admissions of uncertainty seriously,” Daniel Kahneman noted, “but declarations of high confidence mainly tell you that an individual has constructed a coherent story in his mind, not necessarily that the story is true.”
Philip E. Tetlock, Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction

James Randi
“Those who believe without reason cannot be convinced by reason.”
James Randi

Timothy Snyder
“The collapse of the politics of inevitability ushers in another experience of time: the politics of eternity. Whereas inevitability promises a better future for everyone, eternity places one nation at the center of a cyclical story of victimhood. Time is no longer a line into the future, but a circle that endlessly returns the same threats from the past. Within inevitability, no one is responsible because we all know that the details will sort themselves out for the better; within eternity, no one is responsible because we all know that the enemy is coming no matter what we do. Eternity politicians spread the conviction that government cannot aid society as a whole, but can only guard against threats. Progress gives way to doom.”
Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America
