“We need to rediscover a sacred truth that neither conflicts with reason nor oppresses the individual and then to make that understanding the basis of a spiritualized politics. In other words, we need a nonsacerdotal, nonsectarian, nontheological, nontribal religious worldview that is compatible with science and that provides personal orientation, moral guidance, and a framework for public order without imposing dogmas that must be believed or priests who must be obeyed.47 The eventual outcome might be a kind of Confucianism, Taoism, or Stoicism for the postmechanical age.”
Patrick Ophuls, Plato's Revenge: Politics in the Age of Ecology

Bob Woodward
“He’s the kind of person that would inspire crazy people.”
Bob Woodward, Rage

Tiago Forte
“We call someone who is not in control of their mind insane. What do we call someone who is not in control of their attention, which is the gateway to the mind?”
Tiago Forte, Design Your Work: Praxis Volume 1

Bob Woodward
“Nobody believes—even the people who believe in him somehow believe in him without believing what he says.”
Bob Woodward, Rage

Olivia Hawker
“The oaten heaviness of the air, the thick-porridge density of it, the way its odor of dryness and limpness sank down among fresher scents of green and dew and lay there, immobile as a dead thing.”
Olivia Hawker, One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow
