Neil deGrasse Tyson: Life is fragile: We live 80 years. But we’re dead after 8 weeks without food, 8 days without water, 8 minutes without air. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Dijkstra: The question of whether machines can think... Is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Michael Jordan: I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: The workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
William Z. Foster: Like other spokesmen of the people, Lincoln was also the target of the most violent abuse, not the least of this coming from the very capitalist class which he was then leading to overwhelming victory. It is one of the ironies of history that the big capitalists of today, who are the supreme enemies of all democracy, can, although with tongue in cheek, cite the name of this great people’s leader as a champion of their class. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Miguel de Cervantes: He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Miguel de Cervantes: In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Miguel de Cervantes: Liberty is one of the most precious gifts which heaven has bestowed on man; with it we cannot compare the treasures which the earth contains or the sea conceals; for liberty, as for honor, we can and ought to risk our lives; and, on for the other hand, captivity is the greatest evil that can befall man. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
