“If you extol reason, then what matters is the integrity of the thoughts, not the personalities of the thinkers”
― Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress

“And how can we lose this maddening self, lose it entirely? Love? Yes, but as old Cephalus once heard Sophocles say, the least of us know that love is a cruel and terrible master.

― Donna Tartt, The Secret History
