Read through the most famous quotes by topic #complexity

After all, you only need to achieve autonomy from your parents, find a moderately satisfying job, form a relationship, perhaps raise some children, watch the onset of mortality in your parents' generation and eventually in your own, until one day a fatal illness starts gnawing at your innards and you calmly go to the grave, shut the coffin and are done with the self-evident business of life.


Alain de Botton

This is about being a complex human being in the world, not about finding a villain. This is no time for anything else than the best that you've got.


Toni Morrison

Michael Denton

Kevin Brockmeier

If our brains were simple enough for us to understand them, we'd be so simple that we couldn't.

Complexity begets ambiguity, which yields in all ways to prejudice and avarice. Complication does not so much defeat Men as arm them with fancy.
