Quote by Donald Jeffries

“Waldo nodded and waved goodbye pathetically, like a young father going off to war. As soon as the door was closed and he was gone, Jeanne squelched her own apprehensions, opened the paper and read the poem Waldo had written for her: One taste of Jeanne and out I flew Wildly, madly, in no direction But hers, and yet so straight and true I fly towards her with no protection It feels so strange to move this way Though I should land, desire it seems Moves in strange circles and so I stay Disoriented beyond my wildest dreams.”

“One of the seats of emotion and memory in the brain is the amygdala, he explained. When something threatens your life, this area seems to kick into overdrive, recording every last detail of the experience. The more detailed the memory, the longer the moment seems to last. "This explains why we think that time speeds up when we grow older," Eagleman said--why childhood summers seem to go on forever, while old age slips by while we’re dozing. The more familiar the world becomes, the less information your brain writes down, and the more quickly time seems to pass.”

“— Affaire d'État, annonça-t-il d'un ton plein de sous-entendus tandis qu'il le tendait. — Vous voulez acheter des timbres pour l'envoyer ? demanda Moite en prenant le paquet. — Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez, vous, monsieur le receveur ? répliqua le secrétaire. - Moi, je pense que les affaires de l'État voyagent gratis, c'est clair. - Merci, monsieur Lipwig. Sa Seigneurie apprécie ceux qui apprennent vite.”

“Capitalismul modern este la fel de subversiv ca marxismul. Perspectiva materialistă a vieții pe care ambele sisteme sunt bazate este identică; ambele lor idealuri sunt identice calitativ, inclusiv prin premisa conform căreia lumea s-ar învârti în jurul tehnologiei, științei, producției, productivității și consumului. Câtă vreme vorbim despre clase economice, profit, salarii, producție și câtă vreme considerăm că progresul umanității este determinat de un anumit sistem de distribuție a banilor și a bunurilor și că, în general vorbind, progresul umanității se măsoară în nivelul de bogăție sau sărăcie — atunci înseamnă că nici măcar nu ne-am apropiat de ceea ce este esențial în viață.”

“Pendant des millions d'années, l'humanité a vécu comme les animaux. Par la suite, quelque chose est arrivé qui a libéré le pouvoir de notre imagination. Nous avons appris à parler et à écouter. La parole a permis la communication des idées, abilitant l'être humain à travailler ensemble afin de construire l'impossible. Les plus grandes réalisations de l'humanité se sont matérialisées en parlant, et ses plus grands échecs en ne parlant plus. Cela n'a pas lieu d'être. Nos plus grands espoirs pourraient devenir des réalités dans le futur. Avec la technologie à notre disposition, les possibilités sont illimitées. Tout ce que nous avons à faire est de s'assurer que nous continuions à parler.”
