"It's asking a great deal that things should appeal to your reason as well as your sense of the aesthetic." W. Somerset Maugham, 'Of Human Bondage', 1915 English dramatist & novelist (1874 - 1965)
"Who knows what form the forward momentum of life will take in the time ahead or what use it will make of our anguished searching. The most that any one of us can seem to do is fashion something--an object or ourselves--and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force."
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Malcolm Gladwell

If you've read Blink or The Turning Point (you should if you haven't), then you should really hit the New Yorker Archives of Malcolm Gladwell's web site. It is choc full of articles along the same lines as his book and never cease to capture interest; from his earliest article on risk homeostatis back in 1996 up through his latest book Outliers.
