Quote by Yuval Noah Harari

“One of history's iron law is that luxuries tend to become necessities and to spawn new obligations. Once people get used to a certain luxury, they take it for granted. Then they begin to count on it. Finally they reach a point where they can't live without it.”

“It’s a part of the human nature that nothing is easier than uniting in hatred and demolishing what is established, and nothing is harder than agreeing on the way to build what’s sought. For destruction is an instinct that doesn’t require thought. Whereas construction requires knowledge, work, cooperation, and planning.”

“It is so very helpful to know exactly how, and in what ways, you are devilish. It is non-beneficial, and even detrimental, to go about life with a mental image of yourself that is just not accurate. A projection of things that you want to see, blinding yourself to the things you don't want to see. The devil in you and the angel in you both curate the best life for you, but you make it harder on both of them when you acknowledge only one of them. I like to see them both and give each their due honours.”
