Here’s a summary table of key quotes from Factfulness by Hans Rosling:

Theme	Quote	Explanation
The Gap Instinct	"The gap instinct makes us divide the world into 'us' and 'them' and imagine a gap that is much larger than it actually is."	We tend to see the world as divided between rich and poor, but reality is more nuanced, with most people living in the middle.
The Negativity Instinct	"Things can be bad, and getting better."	Even though problems exist, many global indicators like health and education are improving.
The Straight-Line Instinct	"The world is not static. Things are changing, and the future might look different than we expect."	Many trends (e.g., population growth) don’t follow a simple straight-line trajectory.
The Fear Instinct	"Scary things get our attention, but they’re not necessarily the most dangerous."	We overestimate risks like terrorism but underestimate common dangers like traffic accidents.
The Size Instinct	"To understand big numbers, compare them."	Context is important—large figures can seem scary without comparison.
The Generalization Instinct	"Categories can be misleading."	We often lump countries into "developed" and "developing," ignoring differences within these groups.
The Destiny Instinct	"Societies and cultures change."	No country is destined to remain poor forever; progress happens over time.
The Single Perspective Instinct	"Beware of simple explanations."	A single-factor explanation (e.g., blaming poverty only on corruption) is rarely accurate.
The Blame Instinct	"Look for causes, not villains."	Instead of blaming individuals, focus on systemic causes to solve problems.
The Urgency Instinct	"Take a breath. Think. Don't panic."	Rushing decisions due to urgency can lead to bad choices—critical thinking is key.
