Beware
“A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March”
— Brutus, Julius Caesar (1953)
The Death of Caesar
Pi
“A bell cannot tell time, but it can be moved in just such a way as to say twelve o’clock—similarly, a man cannot calculate infinite numbers, but he can be moved in just such a way as to say pi.”
― Daniel Tammet, Thinking in Numbers: How Maths Illuminates Our Lives
Two Views
I, I Mean Us
“when i say i, i mean us
but i’m not sure it’s my place to talk for you”
A Hole in the Status Quo
“Our anger was a fury sparked by profound injustices. Wrongs that deserved ire. And with that rage, we ripped a hole in the status quo.”
― Judith Heumann, Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist
A Thin Veneer of Civilization
“What we assume in other people is what we get out of them. Our view of human nature tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If we assume that people are fundamentally selfish, then that’s how they will behave. If we assume that people are fundamentally decent, then maybe we can create a very different kind of society.”
And Why?
Think of the Person
“When eating a fruit, think of the person who planted the tree.”
— Vietnamese proverb
