  1. A quotation from Edward Morgan

    A book is the only place I know in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear that it will go off in your face. It is one of the few sources of information left that is served up without the silent black noise of a headline, the doomy hullabaloo of a commercial. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man’s mind can get both provocation and privacy.

    Edward P. Morgan (1910-1993) American journalist
    Essay (1955-08-15), “The Literary Bug Doesn’t Bite,” ABC Radio

  6. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Anger blows out the lamp of the mind. In the examination of a great and important question, every one should be serene, slow-pulsed and calm.

    Essay (1881-11) “The Christian Religion,” “Part 2” North American Review, Vol. 133, No. 300

  8. A quotation from Montaigne

    Deliberation, even about the slightest things, annoys me; and I feel my mind harder put to it to endure the various shocks and ups and downs of doubt and deliberation, than to settle down and accept any course whatever, after the die is cast. Few passions have troubled my sleep; but as for deliberations, the slightest one troubles it.
     
    [Le deliberer, voire és choses plus legeres, m’importune. Et sens mon esprit plus empesché à souffrir le bransle, & les secousses diverses du doute, & de la consultation, qu’à se rassoir & resoudre à quelque party que ce soit, apres que la chance est livree. Peu de passions m’ont troublé le sommeil ; mais des deliberations, la moindre me le trouble.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]

  16. A quotation from A. A. Milne

    I wrote somewhere once that the third-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the majority, the second-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the minority, and the first-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking. With equal truth it may be said that a first-rate mind is not one which does not remember the past, nor is it one which cannot forget the past; it is a mind which will use the past but not be ordered by it. It is a mind independent of everybody and everything but the facts in front of it. It is as little perturbed to find itself sharing a thought with the simple as it is elated to find itself sharing a thought with the subtle.

    A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
    War with Honour, Macmillan War Pamphlets, Issue 2 (1940)

  18. A quotation from Montesquieu

    Extreme obedience assumes ignorance in the one who obeys; it assumes ignorance even in the one who commands; he does not have to deliberate, to doubt, or to reason; he has only to want.
     
    [L’extrême obéissance suppose de l’ignorance dans celui qui obéit; elle en suppose même dans celui qui commande: il n’a point à délibérer, à douter, ni à raisonner; il n’a qu’à vouloir.]

       “You don’t seem to give much thought to the matter in hand,” I said at last, interrupting Holmes’s musical disquisition.
       “No data yet,” he answered. “It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgement.”

       He sat down and thought, in the most thoughtful way he could think. Then he fitted his paw into one of the Tracks … and then he scratched his nose twice, and stood up.
       “Yes,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.

  33. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    Clichés, stock phrases, adherence to conventional, standardized codes of expression and conduct have the socially recognized function of protecting us against reality, that is, against the claim on our thinking attention that all events and facts make by virtue of their existence.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Lecture (1971), “Thinking and Moral Considerations,” Social Research (1971 Fall)

  34. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Strange enough how creatures of the human-kind shut their eyes to plainest facts; and by the mere inertia of Oblivion and Stupidity, live at ease in the midst of Wonders and Terrors. But indeed man is, and was always, a blockhead and dullard; much readier to feel and digest, than to think and consider.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 1, ch. 8 (1834)

  35. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Strange enough how creatures of the human-kind shut their eyes to plainest facts; and by the mere inertia of Oblivion and Stupidity, live at ease in the midst of Wonders and Terrors. But indeed man is, and was always, a blockhead and dullard; much readier to feel and digest, than to think and consider.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 1, ch. 8 (1834)

  38. « C'est dans la conscience individuelle que la société joue son destin. Les institutions les plus admirables ne sont que des vestiges si les personnes censées les préserver n'en respectent pas l'esprit et sont incapables de les adapter aux circonstances . »

    Corine Pelluchon dans son livre "Éthique de la considération" (2018)

  39. ‘It is in each individual's conscience that society stakes its destiny. The most admirable institutions are mere relics if the persons who are supposed to preserve them do not respect their spirit and are incapable of adapting them to circumstances .’

  40. A quotation from Oppenheimer

    However, it is my judgment in these things that when you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.

    J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) American theoretical physicist, "Father of the Atomic Bomb" [Julius Robert Oppenheimer]
    “In the matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer,” testimony transcript, US Atomic Energy Commission, Personnel Security Board (1954-04-13)

  41. A quotation from Holmes, Oliver Wendell, Sr.:

    «
    I will tell you my rule. Talk about those subjects you have had long in your mind, and listen to what others say about subjects you have studied but recently. Knowledge and timber shouldn’t be much used till they are seasoned.
