"The barbarian loves his own pride, and hates, or disbelieves in, the pride of others. I will be a civilized being, I will love the pride of my adversaries, of my servants, and my lover; and my house shall be, in all humility, in the wilderness a civilized place."

Karen Blixen

"What's changed is we now have good anatomical, geological, archaeological evidence that Neanderthals are not our ancestors. When I wrote 'Lucy,' I considered Neanderthals ancestors of modern humans.

Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
"Believe me if you consult philosophy she will persuade you not to lit so long at your counting desk."
Seneca
"Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare ourselves and our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed."
Brené Brown
"People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves."
Albert Camus
