“A map is a two-dimensional representation with arbitrary symbols and incised lines that decide who is to be our enemy and who is to be our friend, who deserves our love and who deserves our hatred and who, our sheer indifference. Cartography is another name for stories told by winners. For stories told by those who have lost, there isn’t one.”
― Elif Shafak, The Island of Missing Trees

“Then one day the man who would be president promised the deaths of his own citizens. The terrible became ordinary, to thundering applause.”

“Those who most commonly win their knowledge from the Internet reportedly do so very much less thoroughly and deeply than do those who bury themselves in books. They know they can always return to the Web and reload the page to find out anything further they might wish to know. There is no need to learn anything in depth. Bullet points will do just fine. To be able to discuss, argue, discern, think about, and value the importance of the knowledge so gathered represents, or so behavioral specialists tell us, a vanishing set of skills.”
― Simon Winchester, Knowing What We Know: The Transmission of Knowledge: From Ancient Wisdom to Modern Magic
