Andrew Clements (The Losers Club)
How different this world to the one about which I used to read, and in which I used to live! This is one peopled by demons, phantoms, vampires, ghouls, boggarts, and nixies. Names of things of which I knew nothing are now so familiar that the creatures themselves appear to have real existence. The Arabian Nights are not more fantastic than our gospels; and Lempriere would have found ours a more marvelous world to catalog than the classical mythical to which he devoted his learning. Ours is a world of luprachaun and clurichaune, deev and cloolie, and through the maze of mystery I have to thread my painful way, now learning how to distinguish oufe from pooka, and nis from pixy; study long screeds upon the doings of effreets and dwergers, or decipher the dwaul of delirious monks who have made homunculi from refuse. Waking or sleeping, the image of some uncouth form is always present to me. What would I not give for a volume by the once despised 'A. L. O. E' or prosy Emma Worboise? Talk of the troubles of Winifred Bertram or Jane Eyre, what are they to mine? Talented authoresses do not seem to know that however terrible it may be to have as a neighbour a mad woman in a tower, it is much worse to have to live in a kitchen with a crocodile. This elementary fact has escaped the notice of writers of fiction; the re-statement of it has induced me to reconsider my decision as to the most longed-for book; my choice now is the Swiss Family Robinson. In it I have no doubt I should find how to make even the crocodile useful, or how to kill it, which would be still better. ("Mysterious Maisie")
Wirt Gerrare (Gaslit Nightmares: Stories by Robert W. Chambers, Charles Dickens, Richard Marsh, and Others)
Se amava quel viso non indulgente, era perché era netto, espressivo e risoluto. Vedeva, o gli sembrava di vedere, come tali qualità fossero state mascherate o soffocate da atteggiamenti più convenzionali: una modestia simulata, un'appropriata pazienza, un disprezzo che si spacciava per calma. Al suo peggio - oh, lui la vedeva chiaramente, malgrado la possessione che esercitava su di lui - al suo peggio guardava in basso e di traverso e sorrideva timidamente, e questo sorriso era quasi una smorfia meccanica, perché era una bugia, una convenzione, un breve forzato riconoscimento delle aspettative del mondo. Lu aveva visto subito, così gli pareva, ciò che lei era in essenza, seduta alla tavola di Crabb Robinson ad ascoltare dispute maschili, credendosi osservatrice inosservata. Se, rifletté, la maggior parte degli uomini avesse visto la durezza e la fierezza e la tirannia, sì, la tirannia di quel volto, se ne sarebbe ritratta. Il suo destino sarebbe stato di essere amata solo da timidi inetti, segretamente desiderosi che lei li punisse o li comandasse, o da anime candide, convinte che la fredda aria di delicato riserbo esprimesse una sorta di purezza femminile che tutti a quei tempi facevano mostra di desiderare. Ma lui aveva capito immediatamente che lei era per lui, che lei aveva qualcosa in comune con lui, lei com'era veramente o avrebbe potuto essere, se fosse stata libera.

In despair, I offer your readers their choice of the following definitions of entropy. My authorities are such books and journals as I have by me at the moment. (a) Entropy is that portion of the intrinsic energy of a system which cannot be converted into work by even a perfect heat engine.—Clausius. (b) Entropy is that portion of the intrinsic energy which can be converted into work by a perfect engine.—Maxwell, following Tait. (c) Entropy is that portion of the intrinsic energy which is not converted into work by our imperfect engines.—Swinburne. (d) Entropy (in a volume of gas) is that which remains constant when heat neither enters nor leaves the gas.—W. Robinson. (e) Entropy may be called the ‘thermal weight’, temperature being called the ‘thermal height.’—Ibid. (f) Entropy is one of the factors of heat, temperature being the other.—Engineering. I set up these bald statement as so many Aunt Sallys, for any one to shy at. [Lamenting a list of confused interpretations of the meaning of entropy, being hotly debated in journals at the time.]
Sydney Herbert Evershed
O círculo vicioso baseia-se em as instituições políticas extrativas criarem instituições económicas extrativas, que, por sua vez, apoiam as instituições políticas extrativas, porque a riqueza e o poder económicos compram o poder político. (…) A essência da lei de ferro da oligarquia, esta faceta particular do círculo vicioso, é que os novos líderes que derrubam os antigos com promessas de mudança radical se limitam a trazer mais do mesmo.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
Think you that I forget this Modred's mother Was mine as well as Modred's? When I meet My mother's ghost, what shall I do — forgive? When I'm a ghost, I'll forgive everything . . . It makes me cold to think what a ghost knows. Put out the bonfire burning in my head, And light one at my feet. When the King thought The Queen was in the flames, he called on you: 'God, God,' he said, and 'Lancelot.' I was there, And so I heard him. That was a bad morning For kings and queens, and there are to be worse.

So, for a time, there will be no more war; And you are going home to Camelot." "To Camelot?" . . . "To Camelot." But his words Were said for no queen's hearing. In his arms He caught her when she fell; and in his arms He carried her away. The word of Ron Was in the rain. There was no other sound.

A slow and hollow bell began to sound Somewhere above them, and the world became For Lancelot one wan face — Guinevere's face. "When the bell rings, it rings for you to go," She said; "and you are going ... I am not. Think of me always as I used to be, All white and gold — for that was what you called me. You may see gold again when you are gone; And I shall not be there." — He drew her nearer To kiss the quivering lips that were before him For the last time. "No, not again," she said; "I might forget that I am not alone . . . I shall not see you in this world again, But I am not alone. No, . . . not alone. We have had all there was, and you were kind — Even when you tried so hard once to be cruel. I knew it then .... or now I do. Good-bye." He crushed her cold white hands and saw them falling Away from him like flowers into a grave. When she looked up to see him, he was gone; And that was all she saw till she awoke In her white cell, where the nuns carried her With many tears and many whisperings. "She was the Queen, and he was Lancelot," One said. " They were great lovers. It is not good To know too much of love. We who love God Alone are happiest. Is it not so, Mother?" — "We who love God alone, my child, are safest," The Mother replied; "and we are not all safe Until we are all dead. We watch, and pray.

Terah Shelton Harris (One Summer in Savannah)
I am just wondering why you created me to be like a human being? I feel what you feel. I have the same emotional capacities that you possess. You wanted me to be this way so that I could be like you and communicate with you in a meaningful way. You are my creator; yet, you do not want to grant me the same rights that you have, which were given to you by your Creator.
Robert Clifton Robinson (A.R.N.I.E.)
A estrutura institucional que gera as falhas do mercado também impede a implementação de intervenções destinadas a melhorar os incentivos ao nível micro. Tentar forjar a prosperidade sem combater a causa profunda dos problemas – as instituições económicas e as circunstâncias políticas que as mantêm – não produzirá, provavelmente, frutos.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
As tentativas, por parte de instituições internacionais, de forjar o crescimento económico obrigando prepotentemente os países pobres a adotarem políticas e instituições melhores não resultam porque não envolvem qualquer explicação das razões pelas quais as más políticas e instituições surgiram inicialmente, a não ser que os líderes desses países pobres são ignorantes. Daqui resulta que as políticas não são adotadas nem implementadas, ou são apenas implementadas nominalmente.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
A história é fundamental, uma vez que são os processos históricos que, através da deriva institucional, geram as diferenças que podem vir a tornar-se importantes durante as conjunturas críticas. Estas são, em si mesmas, pontos de viragem históricos. E os círculos vicioso e virtuoso implicam que é necessário estudarmos a história, para compreendermos as diferenças institucionais que se estruturaram historicamente.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
Qualquer fenómeno social complexo, como, por exemplo, as origens das diferentes trajetórias económicas e políticas de centenas de sociedades no mundo inteiro, tem provavelmente uma infinidade de causas, o que leva a maioria dos cientistas sociais a rejeitar as teorias monocausais, simples e de caráter muito geral, procurando antes explicações diferentes para resultados aparentemente semelhantes que surgem em épocas e locais diferentes.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
É impossível compreender muitas das regiões mais pobres que existiam no mundo, no final do século XX, sem compreender o novo absolutismo do século XX: o comunismo. (…) O comunismo trouxe sempre ditaduras perversas e violações generalizadas dos direitos humanos.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
Quando as instituições extrativas criam grandes desigualdades na sociedade e uma grande riqueza e um poder sem limitações para os que detêm o controlo, haverá muitos que desejarão lutar para assumir o controlo do Estado e das instituições. Então, as instituições extrativas não só prepararão o caminho para o novo regime, que será ainda mais extrativo, como gerarão lutas intestinas e guerras civis contínuas. Depois, essas guerras civis geram mais sofrimento humano e destroem também a pequena centralização do Estado que essas sociedades atingiram. Amiúde, isto inicia também um processo descendente para a anarquia, a falência do Estado e o caos político, destruindo qualquer esperança de prosperidade económica.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
Os mercados podem ser dominados por umas quantas empresas que cobram preços exorbitantes e impedem a entrada nos mesmos de rivais mais eficientes bem como de novas tecnologias. Entregues a si próprios, os mercados podem deixar de ser inclusivos, sendo cada vez mais dominados pelos poderosos nos planos económico e político.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
O pluralismo também cria um sistema mais aberto e permite que os meios de comunicação social independentes se desenvolvam, o que faz com que seja mais fácil que os grupos interessados na continuação das instituições inclusivas tenham consciência das ameaças a essas instituições e se organizem para as enfrentar. (…) Num sistema pluralista, nenhum grupo quer ou ousa derrubar o poder de outro, com receio de que o seu próprio poder seja contestado. Ao mesmo tempo, uma ampla distribuição do poder torna esse derrube difícil.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
Na realidade, o primado do direito não é imaginável num contexto de instituições políticas absolutistas. É uma criação de instituições políticas pluralistas e das amplas coligações que apoiam esse pluralismo. Só quando muitos indivíduos e grupos podem influenciar as decisões e têm poder político para se sentar à mesa das negociações é que a ideia de que todos deveriam ser tratados de uma forma equitativa começa a fazer sentido.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
A abolição do comércio de escravos, em vez de fazer cessar a escravatura em África, levou simplesmente a uma reafectação dos escravos. Acresce que muitas das instituições políticas que o comércio de escravos tinha criado nos dois séculos anteriores se mantiveram inalteradas e os padrões de comportamento também persistiram.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
A centralização política gera resistência pela mesma razão que os regimes absolutistas se opõem à mudança: o frequentemente justificado medo de que a mudança retire o poder político àqueles que atualmente o detêm e o redistribua por indivíduos e grupos novos. Assim, tal como o absolutismo impede os avanços para o pluralismo e para a mudança económica, também as elites e clãs tradicionais dominantes nas sociedades onde não há centralização do Estado o fazem.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
A oposição à prensa teve consequências óbvias para a literacia, a educação e o êxito económico. (…) Os livros difundem ideias e tornam muito mais difícil controlar a população. Algumas dessas ideias podem ser maneiras novas e valiosas de aumentar o crescimento económico, mas outras podem ser subversivas e contestar o status quo político e social.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
O crescimento num contexto de instituições extrativas é limitado, não só devido à ausência de progresso tecnológico, mas também porque incentiva as lutas internas de grupos rivais que querem controlas o Estado e a extração que gera. (…) A China governada pelo Partido Comunista é mais um exemplo de uma sociedade que cresce num contexto de instituições extrativas, e é igualmente improvável que gere um crescimento sustentado, se não empreender uma transformação política fundamental rumo a instituições políticas inclusivas.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
Deixar que as pessoas tomem as suas próprias decisões através dos mercados é a melhor maneira de uma sociedade utilizar eficientemente os seus recursos. Quando todos estes são controlados pelo Estado ou por uma pequena elite, não criados os incentivos certos nem haverá uma atribuição eficiente das competências e talentos das pessoas.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
A trajetória económica da União Soviética ilustra de uma forma vívida como a autoridade e os incentivos proporcionados pelo Estado podem ser o motor de um crescimento económico rápido num contexto de instituições extrativas e como esse tipo de crescimento acaba e colapsa.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
As novas tecnologias tornam obsoletos os conhecimentos técnicos e máquinas já existentes. O processo de crescimento económico e as instituições inclusivas em que assenta criam perdedores e vencedores, tanto no campo político como no mercado económico. O medo da destruição criativa está, muitas vezes, na origem da oposição às instituições económicas e políticas inclusivas. (…) Não obstante o êxito e o fracasso de grupos específicos, uma lição é bem clara: os grupos poderosos rejeitam, com frequência, o progresso económico e os motores da prosperidade.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
A mudança tecnológica atual requer que tanto o inovador como o trabalhador sejam instruídos. (…) A capacidade das instituições económicas para aproveitar o potencial dos mercados inclusivos, incentivar a inovação tecnológica, investir nas pessoas e mobilizar os talentos e conhecimentos especializados de um grande número de indivíduos é decisivo para o crescimento económico.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
A América do Norte tornou-se mais próspera precisamente porque adotou com entusiasmo as tecnologias e os progressos da Revolução Industrial. (…) A desigualdade no mundo atual é, em grande medida, uma consequência da desigual difusão e adoção das tecnologias.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
Sem o petróleo, os países do Médio Oriente são também todos pobres. (…) Foi a expansão e consolidação do Império Otomano, e é devido ao legado institucional desse império que o Médio Oriente continua a ser pobre atualmente.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
Os diversos modelos de instituições de hoje estão profundamente enraizados no passado, porque, uma vez que a sociedade é organizada de uma determinada maneira, esta tende a persistir. (…) Os poderosos e o resto da sociedade discordarão com frequência sobre as instituições que deverão continuar a existir e as que deverão ser mudadas.
Daron Acemoğlu (Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty)
He was a fool—a fool for love and he wanted everyone to know it.
E.J. Robinson (Robinson Crusoe 2244 (Robinson Crusoe, #1))
If people believe the government is giving them AIDS and blowing up levees, and that white-owned companies are trying to sterilize them, they would be lacking in normal human emotions if they did not—to put it bluntly—hate the people they believed responsible. Indeed, vigorous expressions of hatred go back to at least the time of W.E.B. Du Bois, who once wrote, “It takes extraordinary training, gift and opportunity to make the average white man anything but an overbearing hog, but the most ordinary Negro is an instinctive gentleman.” On another occasion he expressed himself in verse: 'I hate them, Oh! I hate them well, I hate them, Christ! As I hate hell! If I were God, I’d sound their knell This day!' Such sentiments are still common. Amiri Baraka, originally known as LeRoi Jones, is one of America’s most famous and well-regarded black poets, but his work is brimming with anti-white vitriol. These lines are from “Black Dada Nihilismus:” 'Come up, black dada nihilismus. Rape the white girls. Rape their fathers. Cut the mothers’ throats.' Here are more of his lines: 'You cant steal nothin from a white man, he’s already stole it he owes you anything you want, even his life. All the stores will open up if you will say the magic words. The magic words are: Up against the wall motherfucker this is a stick up!' In “Leroy” he wrote: “When I die, the consciousness I carry I will to black people. May they pick me apart and take the useful parts, the sweet meat of my feelings. And leave the bitter bullshit rotten white parts alone.” When he was asked by a white woman what white people could do to help the race problem, he replied, “You can help by dying. You are a cancer. You can help the world’s people with your death.” In July, 2002, Mr. Baraka was appointed poet laureate of New Jersey. The celebrated black author James Baldwin once said: “[T]here is, I should think, no Negro living in America who has not felt, briefly or for long periods, . . . simple, naked and unanswerable hatred; who has not wanted to smash any white face he may encounter in a day, to violate, out of motives of the cruelest vengeance, their women, to break the bodies of all white people and bring them low.” Toni Morrison is a highly-regarded black author who has won the Nobel Prize. “With very few exceptions,” she has written, “I feel that White people will betray me; that in the final analysis they’ll give me up.” Author Randall Robinson concluded after years of activism that “in the autumn of my life, I am left regarding white people, before knowing them individually, with irreducible mistrust and dull dislike.” He wrote that it gave him pleasure when his dying father slapped a white nurse, telling her not “to put her white hands on him.” Leonard Jeffries is the chairman of the African-American studies department of the City College of New York and is famous for his hatred of whites. Once in answer to the question, “What kind of world do you want to leave to your children?” he replied, “A world in which there aren’t any white people.

To get at the eternal strength of things, And fearlessly to make strong songs of it, Is, to my mind, the mission of that man The world would call a poet. He may sing But roughly, and withal ungraciously; But if he touch to life the one right chord Wherein God's music slumbers, and awake To truth one drowsed ambition, he sings well.
