Yuval Noah Harari
“We do not become satisfied by leading a peaceful and prosperous existence. Rather, we become satisfied when reality matches our expectations. The bad news is that as conditions improve, expectations balloon.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: Breve historia del mañana

Yuval Noah Harari
“The most common reaction of the human mind to achievement is not satisfaction, but craving for more.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow

Yuval Noah Harari
“People are usually afraid of change because they fear the unknown. But the single greatest constant of history is that everything changes.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow

Yuval Noah Harari
“As far as we can tell from a purely scientific viewpoint, human life has absolutely no meaning. Humans are the outcome of blind evolutionary processes that operate without goal or purpose. Our actions are not part of some divine cosmic plan, and if planet earth were to blow up tomorrow morning, the universe would probably keep going about its business as usual. As far as we can tell at this point, human subjectivity would not be missed. Hence any meaning that people inscribe to their lives is just a delusion.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari
“How many young college graduates have taken demanding jobs in high-powered firms, vowing that they will work hard to earn money that will enable them to retire and pursue their real interests when they are thirty-five? But by the time they reach that age, they have large mortgages, children to school, houses in the suburbs that necessitate at least two cars per family, and a sense that life is not worth living without really good wine and expensive holidays abroad. What are they supposed to do, go back to digging up roots? No, they double their efforts and keep slaving away.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
