“My grandfather was a most gifted person, and amongst his many qualities, one of them had always particularly impressed me. While the past was a book he had read and re-read may times, the future was just one more literary work of art into which he used to pour himself with deep thought and concentration. Innumerable people since his death have told me how he used to read in the future, and this certainly was one of his very great strengths.” PeopleMayPersonsArtBookPastUsedQualityJust OneConcentrationWorks Of ArtGrandfatherImpressedGiftedDeep ThoughtMy GrandfatherLiterary Works Author:Aga Khan IV

“Regardless of the extent to which the media promote "politically correct," but scientifically wrong, resolutions from professional societies such as the American Anthropological Association, facts remain facts and require appropriate scientific, not political or ideological, explanation. None of this should be construed as meaning that environmental factors play no part in individual and group differences. But with each passing year and each new study, the evidence for the genetic contribution to these differences becomes more firmly established than ever.” ShouldYearsPlayFactsPoliticalIndividualDifferencesStudyGroupsMediaEvidenceEnvironmentalPassingPassingsFactorsExplanationContributionAppropriateResolutionAssociationIdeologicalPolitically CorrectEnvironmental Factors Author:J.
