Effective altruism quotes

[Inspired by the corresponding LessWrong thread.]

  • Post each quote as a separate comment, so that they can be upvoted or downvoted separately.

  • Provide sufficient information (URL, title, date, page number, etc.) to enable a reader to find the place where you read the quote, or its original source if available. Do not quote with only a name.

  • In addition to books and articles, you may quote from blogs and other discussion forums.

  • Do not quote yourself.
