Charles Stuart Calverley
“Canst thou love me, lady? I've not learn'd to woo: Thou art on the shady Side of sixty too. Still I love thee dearly! Thou hast lands and pelf: But I love thee merely Merely for thyself.”
Charles Stuart Calverley

David Graeber
“Since one cannot know a radically better world is not possible, are we not betraying everyone by insisting on continuing to justify, and reproduce, the mess we have today? And anyway, even if we’re wrong, we might well get a lot closer.”
David Graeber, Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology

Donald J. Trump
“We are no longer a leader. Putin has become the leader, and it's an embarassment to our country.”
Donald J. Trump, Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again

Richard Dawkins
“Anybody can grow a bone in the penis; you don't have to be particularly healthy or tough.”
Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

Helen Czerski
“Critical thinking is essential to make sense of our world, especially with advertisers and politicians all telling us loudly that they know best. We need to be able to look at the evidence and work out whether we agree with them.”
Helen Czerski, Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life
