“Be generous with your time and your resources and with giving credit and, especially, with your words. It's so much easier to be a critic than a celebrator. Always remember there is a human being on the other end of every exchange and behind every cultural artifact being critiqued. To understand and be understood, those are among life's greatest gifts, and every interaction is an opportunity to exchange them.” GivingHumansEndsMotivationalRememberOpportunityHuman BeingsBehindsEasierUnderstoodResourcesCriticsCreditGenerousInteractionGreatest GiftsArtifactsGiving Credit Author:Maria Popova

“But even if we were to disappear, people would still be divided into people and Others. No matter how those Others were different.People can't get by without Others. Put two people on an uninhabited island, and you'll have a human being and an Other. And the difference is that an Other is always tormented by his differentness. It's easier for people. They know they're people, and that's what they ought to be. And they all have no choice but to be that way. All of them, forever.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayHumansStillsTwoDifferentMatterChoicesDifferencesHuman BeingsForeverOughtEasierDisappearIslandsDividedDifferent Peoples Author:Sergei Lukyanenko
“Even to this day it is easier than it ought to be for me to get a rise out of an American by telling him something about himself which is equally true about every human being on the face of the globe. He at once resents this as a disparagement and an assertion on my part that people in other parts of the globe are not like that, and are loftily superior to such weaknesses.” PeopleHumansFacesHuman BeingsOughtEasierWeaknessSuperiorsThis DayGlobesAssertionResent Author:George Bernard Shaw
