“It is easy to make things hard, but hard to make them easy”
― Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A Hopeful History

“Also taboo among hunter-gatherers was stockpiling and hoarding. For most of our history we didn’t collect things, but friendships. This never failed to amaze European explorers, who expressed incredulity at the generosity of the peoples they encountered. ‘When you ask for something they have, they never say no,’ Columbus wrote in his log. ‘To the contrary, they offer to share with anyone.’7”

“Dictators and despots, governors and generals-they all to often resort to brute force to prevent scenarios that exist only in their own heads, on the assumption that the average Joe is ruled by self-interest, just like them.”

“V ľudoch sa hromadí hnev na Západ, na Ameriku, na Úniu, na Vás. Vediem centrum drogovo závislých. Už roky navštevujem konferencie v celej Európe. Vždy opakujem, my žijeme ináč, ale problémy sú tie isté: ako dať deťom lepšiu buducnosť, starcom dôstojnu smrť, svetu mier. Ale pre vás život v mieri znamená život podľa vašich pravidiel. Hovoríte, že islam je spiatočnícky, že naša demokracia je slabá a tradície sú hlúpe. Nanucujete nám zmeny lebo vy najlepšie viete, ako sa má žiť v 21. storočí. Ak sa pokušame zmenit, veď od cias Ataturka nič ine nerobíme, smejete sa na nám.”
