Book cover for The Future Starts Here: An Optimistic Guide to What Comes Next
A 2012 study by Fairleigh Dickinson University revealed that people who watched MSNBC or Fox News knew less about international events than people who did not watch any news at all.

Fernando Pessoa
“Tedium is not a sickness brought on by the boredom of having nothing to do but the worse sickness of feeling that nothing is worth doing. And thus, the more one has to do the worse the tedium”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

George Orwell
“The whole experience of being hit by a bullet is very interesting and I think worth describing in detail.”
George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia

Fernando Pessoa
“Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face--there’s nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes.

Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself.

The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Criss Jami
“Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.”
Criss Jami

Fernando Pessoa
“To move is to live, to express oneself is to endure. There is nothing real in life that isn't more real for being beautifully described. Small-minded critics often point out that such and such a poem, for all its generous rhythms, is saying nothing more profound than: it's a nice day. But it's not easy to say it's a nice day, and the nice day itself passes. Our duty, then, is to preserve that nice day in endless, flowering memory and garland with new flowers and new stars the fields and skies of the empty, transient external world.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
