Malcolm Gladwell
“Who we are cannot be separated from where we're from.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success

Cory Doctorow
“It's good versus evil, Dan. You don't want to be a post-person. You want to stay human. The rides are human. We each mediate them through our own experience. We're physically inside of them, and they talk to us through our senses. What Debra's people are building--it's hive-mind [stuff:]. Directly implanting thoughts! Jesus! It's not an experience, it's brainwashing!”
Cory Doctorow, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

Sherman Alexie
“Life is a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community.”
Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

Malcolm Gladwell
“We overlook just how large a role we all play--and by 'we' I mean society--in determining who makes it and who doesn't.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success

Wendell Berry
“To define knowledge as merely empirical is to limit one's ability to know; it enfeebles one's ability to feel and think.”
Wendell Berry, Life is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition
