"Data visualizations tell stories. Relatively subtle choices, such as the range of the axes in a bar chart or line graph, can have a big impact on the story that a figure tells. Ask yourself whether a graph has been designed to tell a story that accurately reflects the underlying data, or whether it has been designed to tell a story more closely aligned with what the designer would like you to believe."
(Calling Bullshit, by Carl Bergstrom & Jevin West).
"Until the age of seventy, nothing I drew was worthy of notice. At seventy-three years, I was somewhat able to fathom the growth of plants and trees, and the structure of birds, animals, insects and fish."
—Katsushika Hokusai, One Hundred Views of Mt. Fuji, 1834

"For an enslaved person, running away carried enormous risk—most fugitives were caught and returned or died in the process. Running away with a child made a successful journey to freedom all the more improbable. Running away with four children would have seemed like a suicide mission. But Henson was determined."

“Portrait of a Man in a Slouch Hat” (c1660) has no such grandeur; nevertheless the anonymous character, whose mischievous eyes and smile shine from under the curved sweep of a colossal floppy hat, mesmerises. Painted very broadly, white collar, cuff, strands of gold hair abbreviated in a few dashing strokes, the picture looks like a Manet.'

“It became the custom in such cases to give credit solely to the one who actually made the experiment work, even if others may have also conceived the idea. It was the drosophilists’ golden rule. Ideas that were engendered in the group’s informal shoptalk were treated as communal resource and not as personal property.”

The first sentence of Paul Theroux's "The Pillars of Hercules" is still one of my favorites

"Melaku Worede was at the heart of efforts to secure Ethiopia’s heritage of crop diversity — and in ensuring that farmers benefited. From 1979 to 1993, he led one of the premier crop gene banks in the world, the Plant Genetic Resources Center in Addis Ababa (now the Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute). It was a time when uniform monocultures of crops such as maize (corn; Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) were being widely planted. Melaku was passionate about saving the diversity of traditional crops before they were lost. The practices that Melaku developed, which he referred to as ‘conservation through use’, are now applied around the world."
