James Baldwin

Quotes

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Voltaire

This level of refusal to inhabit reality creates an epistemic divide that goes deeper than the partisan or ideological divides, and in fact makes it impossible not only to come together, but impossible even to intelligibly disagree. That’s how QAnon continues to assault the foundations of constitutional democracy. Russell Muirhead

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best. Epictetus

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool. Richard P. Feynman
