Terry Pratchett
“Look,” said Susan, “I’d just like you to know that I don’t believe any of this. I don’t believe there’s a Death of Rats in a cowl carrying a scythe.” “He’s standing in front of you.” “That’s no reason to believe it.” “I can see you’ve certainly had a proper education,” said the raven sourly.”
Terry Pratchett, Soul Music

“The internet is an epistemological habitat that makes genuine wisdom difficult and unappealing.”
Samuel James, Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age

Ted Dekker
“You are braver than most," the bat said, eying his colored sword.
"And I am not as dense as you think I am," Tanis said. "I know that even now you're trying your trickery."
"If I use this... trickery and persuade you by it, wouldn't that mean I am smarter than you?" Tanis considered the logic. "Perhaps."
"Then trickery is a form of knowledge. And knowledge is a form of truth. And you want more of it; otherwise, as I said, you wouldn't be here. So if by using trickery I persuade you to accept my knowledge, it can only be because I am smarter than you. I have more truth."
It was confounding, this logic of his.”
Ted Dekker, Black

Martin Laird
“The sponge looks within and sees only the ocean of God. The sponge looks without and sees only the ocean of God, but not all of the ocean of God is within the sponge.”
Martin Laird, An Ocean of Light: Contemplation, Transformation, and Liberation

Florence Nightingale
“The very first element for having control over others is, of course, to have control over oneself. If I cannot take charge of myself, I cannot take charge of others. The next, perhaps, is—not to try to "seem" anything, but to be what we would seem.
A person in charge must be felt more than she is heard—not heard more than she is felt. She must fulfil her charge without noisy disputes, by the silent power of a consistent life, in which there is no seeming, and no hiding, but plenty of discretion. She must exercise authority without appearing to exercise it.”
Florence Nightingale, Florence Nightingale - To Her Nurses
