Carl Sagan
“Science is more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking; a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility.

If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then, we are up for grabs for the next charlatan (political or religious) who comes rambling along.”
Carl Sagan

George Orwell
“Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses the power to take in a new idea.”
George Orwell, Coming up for Air

Alain de Botton
“The death of literature had been exaggerated. Whereas on dating websites, those who like books are usually bracketed into a single category, the broad selections on offer at WH Smith spoke to the diversity of individuals’ motives for reading. If there was a conclusion to be drawn from the number of bloodstained covers, however, it was that there was a powerful desire, in a wide cross-section of airline passengers, to be terrified.”
Alain de Botton, A Week at the Airport

Ludwig Bemelmans
“They smiled at the good, and frowned at the bad, and sometimes they were very sad.”
Ludwig Bemelmans

Alain de Botton
“which even Bashō, at the peak of his powers, would have struggled to describe as convincingly as the menu’s scribe: Warm grilled chicken slices, Smoked bacon, crisp lettuce, And a warm ciabatta roll on a bed of sea-salted fries”
Alain de Botton, A Week at the Airport
