“The crimes that become iconic etch themselves into the collective cons...” — S. J. Rozan Quote

“The crimes that become iconic etch themselves into the collective consciousness because they suggest a frightening truth: that the universe does not rely on cause and effect.”

“I always had a feeling when I was a kid that I didn't really know what was going on. Everybody else knew stuff that I didn't know.”

“The most resonant crimes are the ones in which the victim is most innocent, or perceived as innocent. Blaming the victim is tempting; it offers an out.”

“This fundraising is consuming us. It's impossible to overstate, I think, what it's doing to members and their ability to just focus on the job that they were elected to do. The collective concentration of the institution is being undermined every day by the need to fund-raise.”

“The real actor has a direct line to the collective heart.”

“I believe human beings mark a threshold in the development of the planet, of course, but it is only part of the picture. What Big History can do is show us the nature of our complexity and fragility and the dangers that face us, but it can also show us our power, with collective learning.”
