Book cover for No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters
We think we wish to join the wild animals in the jungle but will not tolerate the wild animals in our kitchens. There are too many ants, we think, reaching for the spray, when it is equally true that there are too many humans.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“If there is something in nature you don't understand, odds are it makes sense in a deeper way that is beyond your understanding. So there is a logic to natural things that is much superior to our own. Just as there is a dichotomy in law: 'innocent until proven guilty' as opposed to 'guilty until proven innocent', let me express my rule as follows: what Mother Nature does is rigorous until proven otherwise; what humans and science do is flawed until proven otherwise.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

Terry Tempest Williams
“When one of us says, “Look, there's nothing out there,” what we are really saying is, “I cannot see.”
Terry Tempest Williams, Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Abundance is harder for us to handle than scarcity.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder

Ursula K. Le Guin
“I never knew anybody . . . who found life simple. I think a life or a time looks simple when you leave out the details.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Birthday of the World and Other Stories
