Paul  Lockhart
“Mathematics is the music of reason. To do mathematics is to engage in an act of discovery and conjecture, intuition and inspiration; to be in a state of confusion—not because it makes no sense to you, but because you gave it sense and you still don't understand what your creation is up to; to have a break-through idea; to be frustrated as an artist; to be awed and overwhelmed by an almost painful beauty; to be alive, damn it.”
Paul Lockhart , A Mathematician's Lament: How School Cheats Us Out of Our Most Fascinating and Imaginative Art Form

Hans Rosling
“There was a balance. It wasn’t because humans lived in balance with nature. Humans died in balance with nature.”
Hans Rosling, Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About The World - And Why Things Are Better Than You Think

“Музо, възпей оня пагубен гняв на Ахила…
Ахил беше грубата сила.
Военния демон.
Ахил беше стар генерал
на Н. Ц. В. цар Агамемнон.
Ахил бе герой.
С безброй
кръстове, ордени, ленти…
Пиедестал
на реда и тишината
в страната…
Но днес ний
не вярваме вече в герои
— ни чужди, ни свои.”
Гео Милев "Септември"

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“And, indeed, I will ask on my own account here, an idle question: which is better - cheap happiness or exalted sufferings? Well, which is better?”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead
