Philip Zimbardo

I claim Dickens as a mentor. He's my teacher. He's one of my driving forces.
Anne Rice

A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales.

Although this crisis in some ways started in the United States, it is a global crisis.

Jared Diamond

No government is here forever. And there are other forces - the most potent force in our society, in fact, big business - doing good for the environment.
Jared Diamond

Jules Michelet
